LIBGDX game Engine FreeType usage Guide

most of the LIBGDX documents on the Internet, the use of the version is 0.9X time left, 1.X version of the relatively few. FreeType in 1. X when the use has changed, write a change.

I am using the Libgdx 1.6 version.

First give two portals, you can go to git to see the official wiki.

The Official FreeType notes
Https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Gdx-freetype
Official sample of FreeType
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/tests/gdx-tests/src/com/badlogic/gdx/tests/extensions/ Internationalfontstest.java

Here is a comparison of both ends of the code
Version 0.9X

Package com.example.mylibgdxfont03;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationListener;
Import COM.BADLOGIC.GDX.GDX;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Color;
Import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL10;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.BitmapFont;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.freetype.FreeTypeFontGenerator;

Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.freetype.FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeBitmapFontData;

    public class Mygame implements Applicationlistener {private Bitmapfont font;

    Private Freetypefontgenerator generator;

    Private Freetypebitmapfontdata Fontdata;

    private SpriteBatch batch;

        @Override public void Create () {generator = new Freetypefontgenerator (Gdx.files.internal ("Testfont.ttf")); Fontdata = Generator.generatedata (generator. Default_chars + "The evening breeze to the Glory blow scattered, fame and wealth is so shallow." -I'm a fish seeking water.

        ", false);//You need to write all the words you want to output, as long as you can't have duplicate words. Font = new Bitmapfont (Fontdata, Fontdata.gettexturerEgion (), false);

        Font.setcolor (Color.pink);

    Batch = new SpriteBatch ();
        } @Override public void Dispose () {font.dispose ();
        Generator.dispose ();
    Batch.dispose ();
        } @Override public void render () {Gdx.gl.glClearColor (1, 1, 1, 1);
        Gdx.gl.glClear (Gl10.gl_color_buffer_bit);
        Batch.begin (); Font.drawmultiline (Batch, "Hello Everyone: \ n the night breeze blows the splendor away, \ nthe fame is so shallow."
        ", 50, 220); Font.draw (Batch, "-I am a fish seeking water.

        ", 150, 90);
    Batch.end ();

    } @Override public void resize (int width, int. height) {} @Override public void Pause () {} @Override public void Resume () {}} excerpted from http://m.blog.csdn.net/blog/yangyu20121224/9182243

Code for version 1.6

Package com.mygdx.game;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationAdapter;
Import COM.BADLOGIC.GDX.GDX;
Import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL20;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.BitmapFont;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch;
Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.freetype.FreeTypeFontGenerator;

Import Com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.freetype.FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter;
    public class Mygdxgame extends Applicationadapter {spritebatch batch;
    Freetypefontgenerator Generator;
    Freetypefontparameter parameter;

    Private Bitmapfont font;
        @Override public void Create () {batch = new SpriteBatch (); Generator = new Freetypefontgenerator (Gdx.files.internal ("Simkai").
        TTF "));
        parameter = new Freetypefontparameter (); Parameter.characters = "It's very nice and sunny today."
        ";
        Font = generator.generatefont (parameter);
    Generator.dispose ();
  } @Override public void render () {Gdx.gl.glClearColor (0, 0, 0, 0);      Gdx.gl.glClear (Gl20.gl_color_buffer_bit);
        Batch.begin (); Font.draw (Batch, "The weather is fine today, it's sunny."
        ", 100, 100);
    Batch.end ();
        } @Override public void Dispose () {batch.dispose ();
    Super.dispose ();
 }

}

The difference is:
1. Generate FreeType
0.9X version of the code

Generator.generatedata (generator. Default_chars
                + "The evening breeze to the Glory blow scattered, fame and wealth is so shallow." -I'm a fish seeking water. ", false);//You need to write all the words you want to output, as long as you can't have duplicate words.

Version 1.6 requires the use of the Freetypefontparameter object

Generator = new Freetypefontgenerator (Gdx.files.internal ("Simkai"). TTF "));
parameter = new Freetypefontparameter ();
Parameter.characters = "It's very nice and sunny today." ";

2. Using Bitmapfont
0.9X Version Code

Font = new Bitmapfont (Fontdata, Fontdata.gettextureregion (), false);

1.6 Version Code

Font = generator.generatefont (parameter);

The freetype differences between version 1.6 and 0.9X are summarized in this article.
