freetype使用

Freetype的使用相对比较简单：

 

1.         包含freetype的头文件。

#include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H

 

2.         初始化freetype

FT_Library  library; error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library );

 

3.         加载字体

error = FT_New_Face( library,                        "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf",                        0, &face );

或者

error = FT_New_Memory_Face( library,                               buffer,    /* first byte in memory */                               size,      /* size in bytes        */                               0,         /* face_index           */                               &face );

 

4.         设置字体的大小

error = FT_Set_Char_Size(             face,    /* handle to face object           */             0,       /* char_width in 1/64th of points  */             16*64,   /* char_height in 1/64th of points */             300,     /* horizontal device resolution    */             300 );   /* vertical device resolution      */   error = FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(             face,   /* handle to face object */             0,      /* pixel_width           */             16 );   /* pixel_height          */

 

5.         加载字符的glyph

glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index( face, charcode );   error = FT_Load_Glyph(             face,          /* handle to face object */             glyph_index,   /* glyph index           */             load_flags );  /* load flags, see below */   error = FT_Render_Glyph( face->glyph,   /* glyph slot  */                            render_mode ); /* render mode */

 

6.         字体变换(旋转和缩放)

error = FT_Set_Transform(             face,       /* target face object    */             &matrix,    /* pointer to 2x2 matrix */ &delta );   /* pointer to 2d vector  */

 

7.         把字符显示出来(与具体实现有关)

draw_bitmap( &slot->bitmap,                     pen_x + slot->bitmap_left, pen_y - slot->bitmap_top );
