BREAKING CHANGE: DynamicSpriteFont had been moved to the project: https://github.com/rds1983/FontStashSharp

SpriteFontPlus

Library that extends functionality of the SpriteFont.

Features

• Creation of SpriteFont in the run-time from ttf.
• Creation of SpriteFont in the run-time from AngelCode BMFont(only XML with single texture works for now).

Adding Reference

There are two ways of referencing SpriteFontPlus in the project:

1. Through nuget(works only for MonoGame): https://www.nuget.org/packages/SpriteFontPlus/

2. As source code(works for both MonoGame and FNA):

   a. Clone this repo.

   b. Execute git submodule update --init --recursive within the folder the repo was cloned to.

   c. Add src/SpriteFontPlus.MonoGame.csproj or src/SpriteFontPlus.FNA.csproj to the solution.

   • If FNA is used, then the folder structure is expected to be following:

Loading SpriteFont from a ttf

Following code creates a SpriteFont from a ttf:

var fontBakeResult = TtfFontBaker.Bake(File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\\Windows\\Fonts\arial.ttf"),
	25,
	1024,
	1024,
	new[]
	{
		CharacterRange.BasicLatin,
		CharacterRange.Latin1Supplement,
		CharacterRange.LatinExtendedA,
		CharacterRange.Cyrillic
	}
);

SpriteFont font = fontBakeResult.CreateSpriteFont(GraphicsDevice);

Full sample is here: samples/SpriteFontPlus.Samples.TtfBaking

Loading SpriteFont from AngelCode BMFont

string fontData;
using (var stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("Fonts/test.fnt"))
{
	using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
	{
		fontData = reader.ReadToEnd();
	}
}

SpriteFont font = BMFontLoader.Load(fontData, name => TitleContainer.OpenStream("Fonts/" + name), GraphicsDevice);

Full sample is here: samples/SpriteFontPlus.Samples.BMFont

Building From Source Code

1. Clone this repo.
2. git submodule update --init --recursive
3. Open a solution from the "build" folder.
