Class STBTruetype



  • public class STBTruetype
    extends java.lang.Object
    Native bindings to stb_truetype.h from the stb library.

    This library processes TrueType files:

    • parse files
    • extract glyph metrics
    • extract glyph shapes
    • render glyphs to one-channel bitmaps with antialiasing (box filter)

    ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION

    Some important concepts to understand to use this library:

    Codepoint

    Characters are defined by unicode codepoints, e.g. 65 is uppercase A, 231 is lowercase c with a cedilla, 0x7e30 is the hiragana for "ma".

    Glyph

    A visual character shape (every codepoint is rendered as some glyph)

    Glyph index

    A font-specific integer ID representing a glyph

    Baseline

    Glyph shapes are defined relative to a baseline, which is the bottom of uppercase characters. Characters extend both above and below the baseline.

    Current Point

    As you draw text to the screen, you keep track of a "current point" which is the origin of each character. The current point's vertical position is the baseline. Even "baked fonts" use this model.

    Vertical Font Metrics

    The vertical qualities of the font, used to vertically position and space the characters. See docs for GetFontVMetrics.

    Font Size in Pixels or Points

    The preferred interface for specifying font sizes in stb_truetype is to specify how tall the font's vertical extent should be in pixels. If that sounds good enough, skip the next paragraph.

    Most font APIs instead use "points", which are a common typographic measurement for describing font size, defined as 72 points per inch. stb_truetype provides a point API for compatibility. However, true "per inch" conventions don't make much sense on computer displays since different monitors have different number of pixels per inch. For example, Windows traditionally uses a convention that there are 96 pixels per inch, thus making 'inch' measurements have nothing to do with inches, and thus effectively defining a point to be 1.333 pixels. Additionally, the TrueType font data provides an explicit scale factor to scale a given font's glyphs to points, but the author has observed that this scale factor is often wrong for non-commercial fonts, thus making fonts scaled in points according to the TrueType spec incoherently sized in practice.

    ADVANCED USAGE

    Quality:

    • Use the functions with Subpixel at the end to allow your characters to have subpixel positioning. Since the font is anti-aliased, not hinted, this is very important for quality. (This is not possible with baked fonts.)
    • Kerning is now supported, and if you're supporting subpixel rendering then kerning is worth using to give your text a polished look.

    Performance:

    • Convert Unicode codepoints to glyph indexes and operate on the glyphs; if you don't do this, stb_truetype is forced to do the conversion on every call.
    • There are a lot of memory allocations. We should modify it to take a temp buffer and allocate from the temp buffer (without freeing), should help performance a lot.

    NOTES

    The system uses the raw data found in the .ttf file without changing it and without building auxiliary data structures. This is a bit inefficient on little-endian systems (the data is big-endian), but assuming you're caching the bitmaps or glyph shapes this shouldn't be a big deal.

    It appears to be very hard to programmatically determine what font a given file is in a general way. I provide an API for this, but I don't recommend it.

    SAMPLE PROGRAMS

    Incomplete text-in-3d-api example, which draws quads properly aligned to be lossless:

    unsigned char ttf_buffer[1<<20];
    unsigned char temp_bitmap[512*512];
    
    stbtt_bakedchar cdata[96]; // ASCII 32..126 is 95 glyphs
    GLuint ftex;
    
    void my_stbtt_initfont(void)
    {
       fread(ttf_buffer, 1, 1<<20, fopen("c:/windows/fonts/times.ttf", "rb"));
       stbtt_BakeFontBitmap(ttf_buffer,0, 32.0, temp_bitmap,512,512, 32,96, cdata); // no guarantee this fits!
       // can free ttf_buffer at this point
       glGenTextures(1, &ftex);
       glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, ftex);
       glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_ALPHA, 512,512, 0, GL_ALPHA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, temp_bitmap);
       // can free temp_bitmap at this point
       glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
    }
    
    void my_stbtt_print(float x, float y, char *text)
    {
       // assume orthographic projection with units = screen pixels, origin at top left
       glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

       }
       glEnd();
    }

    Complete program (this compiles): get a single bitmap, print as ASCII art:

    Finding the right font...

    You should really just solve this offline, keep your own tables of what font is what, and don't try to get it out of the .ttf file. That's because getting it out of the .ttf file is really hard, because the names in the file can appear in many possible encodings, in many possible languages, and e.g. if you need a case-insensitive comparison, the details of that depend on the encoding & language in a complex way (actually underspecified in truetype, but also gigantic).

    But you can use the provided functions in two possible ways:

    • FindMatchingFont will use *case-sensitive* comparisons on unicode-encoded names to try to find the font you want; you can run this before calling InitFont
    • GetFontNameString lets you get any of the various strings from the file yourself and do your own comparisons on them. You have to have called InitFont first.

        Creates character bitmaps from the font_index'th font found in fontdata (use font_index=0 if you don't know what that is). It creates num_chars_in_range bitmaps for characters with unicode values starting at first_unicode_char_in_range and increasing. Data for how to render them is stored in chardata_for_range; pass these to GetPackedQuad to get back renderable quads.
        Parameters:
        spc - an STBTTPackContext struct
        fontdata - the font data
        font_index - the font index (use 0 if you don't know what that is
        font_size - the full height of the character from ascender to descender, as computed by ScaleForPixelHeight. To use a point size as computed by ScaleForMappingEmToPixels, wrap the font size in STBTruetype.STBTT_POINT_SIZE(int) and pass the result, i.e.:
        ...,                  20 , ... // font max minus min y is 20 pixels tall

        Parameters:
        spc - an STBTTPackContext struct
        fontdata - the font data
        font_index - the font index (use 0 if you don't know what that is

      • stbtt_PackSetOversampling

        public static void stbtt_PackSetOversampling(STBTTPackContext spc,
                                                     int h_oversample,
                                                     int v_oversample)
        Oversampling a font increases the quality by allowing higher-quality subpixel positioning, and is especially valuable at smaller text sizes.

        This function sets the amount of oversampling for all following calls to PackFontRange or PackFontRangesGatherRects for a given pack context. The default (no oversampling) is achieved by h_oversample=1, v_oversample=1. The total number of pixels required is h_oversample*v_oversample larger than the default; for example, 2x2 oversampling requires 4x the storage of 1x1. For best results, render oversampled textures with bilinear filtering. Look at the readme in stb/tests/oversample for information about oversampled fonts.

        To use with PackFontRangesGather etc., you must set it before calls to PackFontRangesGatherRects.

        Parameters:
        spc - an STBTTPackContext struct
        h_oversample - the horizontal oversampling amount
        v_oversample - the vertical oversampling amount

        Computes quad to draw for a given char and advances the current position.

        The coordinate system used assumes y increases downwards. Characters will extend both above and below the current position; see discussion of "BASELINE" above.

      • stbtt_GetFontOffsetForIndex

        public static int stbtt_GetFontOffsetForIndex(java.nio.ByteBuffer data,
                                                      int index)
        Each .ttf/.ttc file may have more than one font. Each font has a sequential index number starting from 0. Call this function to get the font offset for a given index; it returns -1 if the index is out of range. A regular .ttf file will only define one font and it always be at offset 0, so it will return '0' for index 0, and -1 for all other indices. You can just skip this step if you know it's that kind of font.
        Parameters:
        data - the font data
        index - the font index
      • stbtt_InitFont

        public static boolean stbtt_InitFont(STBTTFontinfo info,

                                             int offset)
        Given an offset into the file that defines a font, this function builds the necessary cached info for the rest of the system. You must allocate the STBTTFontinfo yourself, and stbtt_InitFont will fill it out. You don't need to do anything special to free it, because the contents are pure value data with no additional data structures.
        Parameters:
        info - an STBTTFontinfo struct
        data - the font data
        offset - the font data offset
        Returns:
        1 on success, 0 on failure

                                               int unicode_codepoint)
        If you're going to perform multiple operations on the same character and you want a speed-up, call this function with the character you're going to process, then use glyph-based functions instead of the codepoint-based functions.
        Parameters:
        info - an STBTTFontinfo struct
        unicode_codepoint - the unicode code point
        Returns:
        the glyph index

                                                      float pixels)
        Computes a scale factor to produce a font whose "height" is pixels tall. Height is measured as the distance from the highest ascender to the lowest descender; in other words, it's equivalent to calling GetFontVMetrics and computing:
        scale = pixels / (ascent - descent)

        so if you prefer to measure height by the ascent only, use a similar calculation.

        Parameters:
        info - an STBTTFontinfo struct
        pixels - the font height, in pixels
        Returns:
        the scale factor

                                                            float pixels)
        Computes a scale factor to produce a font whose EM size is mapped to pixels tall. This is probably what traditional APIs compute, but I'm not positive.
        Parameters:
        info - an STBTTFontinfo struct
        pixels - the font height, in pixels
        Returns:
        the scale factor

                                                 java.nio.IntBuffer lineGap)
        Returns vertical metrics for the specified font. You should advance the vertical position by *ascent - *descent + *lineGap

        The returned values are expressed in unscaled coordinates, so you must multiply by the scale factor for a given size.

        Parameters:
        info - an STBTTFontinfo struct
        ascent - returns the coordinate above the baseline the font extends
        descent - returns the coordinate below the baseline the font extends (i.e. it is typically negative)
        lineGap - returns the spacing between one row's descent and the next row's ascent
