Structure that contains the necessary data to generate a bitmap Font Texture from an .TTF or .OTF font file. Fonts are generally used to draw on screen either in two or three dimension. Coupled with a signed distance field they can be used to draw smooth anti-aliased text that look good from every distance using the Alpha-Tested Magnification for Vector Textures and Special Effects technique.

Texture

Static Variables

Name	Description
`texture`	Parent Texture asset the Font data is attached to.
Declaration Texture *texture
`advance`	The current `X` and `Y` position of the Font cursor allowing you to extra the size in pixels of a specific text.
Declaration vec2 advance

Variables

Name	Description
`size`	The maximum size allowed for each cell (or each character if you prefer).
Declaration float size Range 1 to 256
`ascii_start`	The first ASCII the Font map should begin with.
Declaration unsigned char ascii_start
`ascii_count`	The total number of ASCII (after the `ascii_start`) should be generated.
Declaration unsigned char ascii_count
`tab_spaces`	How many spaces a tabulation is equivalent to.
Declaration unsigned char tab_spaces
`ascender`	Offset between each character based on the Font size and the specifications found in the `.TFF` or `.OTF` data.
Declaration float ascender Range 0.0 to 256.0 Remarks This value is set automatically when the Texture is generated; however you can still manipulate this value in order to tweak the offset between characters.

Functions

Name	Description
`GetStringSize`	Retrieve the two-dimensional size of a text using the active Font.
Declaration vec2 GetStringSize( const char s ) Parameters* `s`: A string to retrieve its size. Return Value The width and the height in pixels of the text `s` received in parameter.
`ClearOffsets`	Reset the internal offset used when processing a string.
Declaration void ClearOffsets( void )
`GetAsciiQuad`	Return the width in pixels for a specific ASCII to advance to the next character.
Declaration float GetAsciiQuad( const char ascii) `ascii`: An ASCII value. Return Value The size of the `ascii` specified.
