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. ;)
I just remembered I also wrote a tool for this as a project at
university (in Java, because I had to) last year:
http://gitorious.org/fmapper
It spits out a texture or a set of textures with tightly packed
glyphs
of specified font with specified parameters, and a text file
containing offsets and texture coords of glyphs.
There is an example C++/OpenGL
program on how to load the textures and draw fonts.
Only supports the basic multilingual plane, though.
If you're only using a fixed number of font sizes, you can
generate textures
for them with this.
It's not as flexible, but probably easier than writing your own
code
based on FreeType.
Note that it's not maintained - I hate Java - but it should work.
