C++ D3DX Font and transformations (d3d9 and d3d10 solutions needed)

I want to render font in a way that takes account of the current transforms and similar settings, especially the projection transform and viewport.

Rendering formatted text in a direct3d application

I need to render some formatted text (colours, different font sizes, underlines, bold, etc) however I'm not sure how to go about doing it. D3DXFont only allows text of a single font/size/weight/colour/etc to be rendered at once, and I cant see a practical way to "combine" multiple calls to ID3DXFont::DrawText to do such things... I look...

Hardware accelerated Unicode text rendering

I want to write a hardware accelerated text renderer using Free Type 2 to load the fonts, find the correct glyphs and their sizes etc. My plan to do this is to have a large texture containing glyphs (for a given font,size,etc) in video memory, and a table for each texture defining information about the contents of the texture in system ...

OpenGL live text-rendering

I'm implementing a GUI built on top of OpenGL. I came to the problem that each GUI will have -- text rendering.

Is there any difference in major browsers' rendering across operating systems?

I have long believed that the only difference as far as the rendering of major browsers on different platforms is concerned is operating systems' underlying font-rendering technology, everything else relying upon the same libraries included with the browser. As far as my research takes me, this is something that front-end developers eit...

library for text rendering that supports text-on-path

I need a good, reliable library or toolchain for programatically rendering text to png, with different sizes, fonts, weights, etc. It also needs to be able to render text in an arc or to a path. I would like it to be fast, because I'd be running it as on a server. I've tried using SVG and librsvg, but that doesn't render <textPath> elem...

I'm just testing this stuff out, so I don't need an alternate approach (no GL extensions). Just hoping someone sees an obvious mistake in my usage of GLES. I want to take an bitmap of a glyph that is smaller than 32x32 (width and height are not necessarily powers of 2) and put it into a texture so I can render it. I've first created an ...
