Texture-mapped font for OpenGL ES

Reviewer Approved    

An efficient approach to implement fonts in OpenGL is to use a single texture-mapped quad for each character. This technique has very good performance and presents nice results. At this link [1], there is more information on this subject.

glFont

The glFont tool [2] is a well-known Windows application and API to generate textures for fonts, and to render them using OpenGL. According to its licence, this tool is free to be used in any program, commercial or non-commercial [3]. The original author is Brad Fish (brad.fish@gmail.com).

Here is the font class converted to the Symbian OS API (The original author gently allowed the conversion to be published here):

Notes and limitations

This font class is intended to render 2D text. So, it is important to set up the required orthographic projection before rendering. The following code is an example of how to do this:

// Rect() is a method that returns the current drawing rectangle.
// The (0,0) point will be the on bottom-left corner.
 
glViewport (0, 0, Rect().Width(), Rect().Height());
 
glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
  glLoadIdentity ();
  glOrthox (0, IntToFixed (Rect().Width()), 0, IntToFixed (Rect().Height()), -1, 1);
 
 glMatrixMode (GL_MODELVIEW);
   glLoadIdentity ();

Also, the BeginDraw() and EndDraw() methods (or equivalent code) should be called to set up required states for rendering. For example, if alpha blending is not enabled, the quad corresponding to the character becomes noticeable.

Currently, this class supports 8 bit descriptors only. The class should be extended to support 16 bits descriptors and resource strings.
