go-fonts: Render open source fonts to polygons in Go
This is an experimental package used to render open source fonts to polygons using Go.
As of version v0.18.0, all fonts have been moved to separate repos
due to the original repo being just too huge.
They are now organized by the first letter of the name of the font:
github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts-a/fonts/aaarghnormal
...
github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts-b/fonts/baloo
...
github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts-z/fonts/znikomitno24
Example usage
To use one or more fonts within a Go program, import the main package and the font(s) you want, like this:
import (
"github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts/fonts"
_ "github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts-u/fonts/ubuntumonoregular"
)
Then render the text to polygons and use them however you want:
xPos, yPos, xScale, yScale := 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0
message := "Sample from ubuntumonoregular"
render, err := fonts.Text(xPos, yPos, xScale, yScale, message, "ubuntumonoregular", &fonts.Center)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("MBB: %v", render.MBB)
for i, poly := range render.Polygons {
log.Printf("Polygon #%v/%v has %v points. MBB: %v", i+1, len(render.Polygons), len(poly.Pts), poly.MBB)
// ...
}
See https://github.com/gmlewis/go-gerber or https://github.com/gmlewis/blackjack for example applications that use this package.
Enjoy!
