Shikoba: OpenGL 3+ Font Library

Category: Developers •

May 07, 2012

Shikoba is a C++ text library for OpenGL 3 and above using the FreeType 2 library. It fills a single GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE with a GL_R8 charmap and returns vertex and texture coordinate information for each requested glyph. The texture ID and glyph information never change and are valid until the destruction of the Library object.
