I'd love to be able to use texts in different fonts in my images. Something like
Code: Select all
TEXT { "my text" "this_cool_font" }
Modern fonts are stored as vectors anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. I know doing font stuff in a platform independent way is a PITA, although using a 3rd party library (
freetype ?) could ease that pain greatly.
As a bonus, alignment options.

For the time being, check out
pfbtocfdg and my
Curses picture in the Gallery.

This is great! And it even works for proportional fonts. Thanks a lot, this is a very valueable tool.
It seems that there is no general listing for such 3rd party tools in the wiki. I think it would be nice to have one. Any opinions on that?

...and I've added a pointer for pfbtocfdg to that page.
