Freetype - Brian Beuken - 11-25-2020 This will be covered in some demos I am doing but its useful for older code too. Full2D Text display can be a bit tricky on C++ GPU projects but there's a nice library that lets us do quite a lot, to install the libs you do need to build it so here are the steps Code: sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev -y Code: wget https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.6.3.tar.gz Code: tar -xvzf freetype-2.6.3.tar.gz Code: cd freetype-2.6.3 Code: make Code: sudo make install RE: Freetype - Brian Beuken - 11-26-2020 oh and check for latest verison, here I'm using 2.6.3 but theres actuallly 2.10.4 now. I have no idea what was updated but both work just fine |
