I've been looking for a good way to render font in OpenGL with D.
Back in they day I was very impressed with Tomasz's article on the
subject: http://h3.gd/dmedia/?n=Tutorials.TextRendering1
I was wonder if anyone has ported it.
take derelict2 http://www.dsource.org/projects/derelict [stable]
derelict3 in development https://github.com/aldacron/Derelict3
I already have OpenGL working with derelict2.
How do these links help with rendering text in OpenGL?
I have some code based on that tutorial in
https://github.com/kiith-sa/ICE,
but beware that it's not the most effective code
and not particularly readable either.
However, I abstracted it away it to pack any textures instead of just
font glyphs, and it is spread over many files.
The relevant files are:
video/glvideodriver.d
video/texturepage.d
video/gltexturebackend.d
video/binarytexturepacker.d
video/font.d
video/fontmanager.d
Works with DMD 2.058, but it'd probably be nontrivial to rip it
out and use separately.
Thanks for the link!
I don't have time to go over it right now, but that looks promising. I
took a shot at porting Tomasz's code a while ago, but I never got it to
compile. At least your code /compiles/, so even if it's integrated into
other stuff, at least I might stand a better chance.
Btw, also a fan of Raptor and Tyrian. Good taste dude. ;)
