new code snippet: RenderTTFFontToTexture

Post by tdev »

just hacked together a handy utility that lets you use TTF fonts with wide ranges and texture fonts together on the fly: it can extract the texture and the .fontdef on the fly and save (cache) it on disc, so you dont need to regenerate the font upon next program start. This can save you some seconds during program start :)

code there: http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Re ... tToTexture

questions? / further ideas? / comments?

EDIT: extended the code a bit further, see example_usage method
