Rendering text
In order to render text you need a font file (.ttf file). Loading is easy, you can just load it from a file.
gl2d::Font f(RESOURCES_PATH "roboto_black.ttf");
//or
f.createFromFile(filePath);Or you can read the file yourself and give it to your font.
gl2d::Font f;
f.createFromTTF(data, sizeOfData);Now you can render text!
The origin will be the bottom left corner since it represents the line for the text to be drawn / the center of the text, as specified by the showInCenter parameter Pacing and lineSpace are influenced by size
