..bitmap fonts solutions you use..

[Naughty Alien]

..hi guys..im wondering what bitmap font solution you use in your work..as for me, im using Quads textured with bitmap font texture , in such way that im reading specific UV on texture related to character and paint that on to Quad created with proper size for given UV-ed font. so its all fine and nice..however, i have experience some problems..my fonts disappear when i enable HDR and i think it has something to do GL blend modes i am using..anyway, I would like to know, what solutions you use with no such issues (tested over framewerk too)..

I haven't found any reason yet not to use LE's LoadFont/SetFont/DrawText.

Ditto, I'm using the LE 2D font drawing too.

..well..few reasons why i wanted Font system independent from engine..eg., what if I need few different fonts at same time on screen? How should I use that with Setfont(loadFont()) ?

[Canardia]

You can preload all fonts like font1=LoadFont(), font2=LoadFont(), and then use SetFont(font1), SetFont(font2) to use different loaded fonts.

what would be handler for loaded font..I have tried Font1:TFont=LoadFont() but Bmax reporting error..do you mind to posy some simple example?

[AndyGFX]

TGLFont instead TFont

 

Font1:TGLFont=LoadFont(...)

..agh..no wonder..thats why whole thing collapsing..i have named my Font class also TGLFont..thats why crashing engine..thanks Andy, a lot..
