Provides FreeType font loading for TextraTypist.

You can load anything FWSkin (from TextraTypist) can load, such as .fnt and (optionally compressed) Structured JSON files from FontWriter, as well as anything FreeTypeSkin (from Stripe) can load, such as FreeType font config. This also will load TextraTypist's Styles.Whatever types when it loads the corresponding scene2d.ui style. Importantly, this can load both the .dat and .fnt files distributed in TextraTypist's knownFonts/ folder.

This depends on FreeType, so you must have the appropriate platform dependencies for that, if you don't already. It also, naturally, depends on TextraTypist. It has no other dependencies of its own.

Versions here are linked to TextraTypist versions, so version 2.2.13.0 uses TextraTypist 2.2.13, with a bugfix or other patch applied to append .0. In the case of the earlier 1.1.0.1, that patch allows SelectBoxStyle to be read in, and fixed some optional properties that other styles may have in a Skin JSON file. That version still depends on the same version of TextraTypist, 1.1.0, as the release before it. When a new TextraTypist version comes out, such as 2.2.14, then the corresponding version of FreeTypist would be 2.2.14.0.

Using Maven Central:

implementation 'com.github.tommyettinger:freetypist:2.2.13.0'

Using JitPack: (Instead of 93e338da1b, you can use any recent commit listed here under Commits.)

implementation 'com.github.tommyettinger:freetypist:93e338da1b'

You could also just copy the two source files, FreeTypistSkin.java and FreeTypistSkinLoader.java, into your own project, which is probably the easiest route. This is what TextraTypist does for its tests. You still will need the FreeType dependencies, including its platform dependencies.

This project was previously a subproject of the textratypist repo, but with the way that that was structured, I had some real issues when releasing. That's why the release numbering was sketchy for a while early on. FreeTypist was moved to its own repo because it doesn't actually depend on the latest TextraTypist commit anyway, and it can reasonably be its own small project.

The code here has been mostly unchanged except to update TextraTypist versions, but when that also updates libGDX, sometimes there are other changes involved. There were also some changes to how sizing works in version 2.2.2.0 here, matching changes in TextraTypist 2.2.2 for all of its Skin types. Version 2.2.4.0 included some fixes for styles.

Apache 2.0, the same as TextraTypist.
