Antialiasing fonts...

[M109uk]

lol no problem, i was reading the OpenGL Red book for anything about antialiasing and found these, it doesnt really go in to that much depth about using all of them :?
Thanx any ways, i am working on your font idea, and if all goes well i will post it and source here...

Ok i have written the new font generator, at the moment it hasnt been incorporated in to my engine and it takes about a minute or 2 to calculate the font at the moment, im going to see if i can speed it up as much as possible otherwise i will just have to save all the font data..

When the font is generated in to a texture it renders 4 font styles: Normal, Bold, Italic, Bold and Italic into the same texture.

When you call textout you can place format strings in to the text these
are: (ignour the underscore!!)
<_b>text<_/b> for Bold text
<_i>text<_/i> for Italic text
<s>text</s> for Bold and Italic text
<c n,n,n>text</c> to colour the text

The example in the screenshot is:
<_b>Bio<_/b>-<_i>Sphere<_/i> - <s><c 1,0.5,0.5>XShell</c></s> [Font <c 0.5,0.5,1>viewer</c>]

Bio-Sphere - XShell [Font viewer]

Hey,

I'v cleaned up some of my code, but i couldnt find any way of speeding up the font generation, most of the time is spent smoothing it and drawing a shadow, so i have added an option to disable this effect.

The original code for the font generation was from Nitrogens font studio 2, with a few modifications...

Heres a new screenshot:
