This module defines a Font class which can read fonts in BMF format version 1.1 or 1.2. Version 1.2 is a recent but significant upgrade, adding support for non-ASCII Unicode characters, kerning, and an alpha channel for anti-aliased fonts.
If you run bmfFonts.demo (or load and run the module directly instead of using import), it will look for the fonts folder, and draw a string with each one. The final font will be drawn at 3X scale at the bottom of the screen.
Classes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Font | Stores all data about a particular font. |
| CharData | Stores all data about a single character in a specific font. |
Example
import "bmfFonts"
clear
// Load a font
f = bmfFonts.Font.load("/sys/fonts/Arial14Bold.bmf")
// Print a string in that font to gfx
f.print "Hello world!", 20, 500
// Get a character image, and make a Sprite out of it
spr = new Sprite
spr.image = f.getCharImage("R")
spr.x = 600
spr.y = 500
spr.scale = 3
spr.rotation = 30
display(4).sprites.push spr
