Using FreeType in OpenGL: glft0.1

[Bart De Lathouwer]

Hi all,

 

I've just hacked some code together to display text in an OpenGL

window based on FreeType 2 Release Candidate 8.

 

I assume my code still needs some major tuning, it seems to work.

(Could it be that FT RC 8 contains some funny features, like Bounding box

calculations, memory leaks, etc...)

 

The FreeType library I use is created using the project files posted by Claudia (Thanks BTW).

It should also work fine with the regular build.

I haven't tried on other platform that Win32.

 

Code and sample project can be found at: ftp://aigis.be/pub/glft-0.1.zip

(Build on a SGI VWS 540 using MS VC 6.0 SP 4)

 

Try running the code but with greater font size (> 64). It crashes when the application is closed.

I've ruffly checked my code, but couldn't find a memory leak. Maybe someone else can? (Or is

it FT RC 8 ?)

 

Regards from (rather warm but sunny) Belgium,
