Homebrew I created a lightweight alternative to sftdlib for drawing text in sf2dlib.

I didn't like all the overhead that sftdlib requires just to draw text in sf2dlib, so I created my own text drawing "library" that uses simpler bitmap-based fonts.

See the readme for more information.

Here's a screenshot of the example program:

Well it is a text drawing library.

Thanks for sharing, I actually did something similar in C but much shittier so I never thought to share it D:

anyway, good job!

I just wanted to let you know it's already in use here: https://github.com/RedInquisitive/Super-Haxagon. Great library btw.

No problem! I was just about to look for a font library when I saw yours and was like, bingo. It works so well, thanks (even in plain c)!

Wait, how are you getting it to work in plain C?

I wrote a wrapper method in C++ and used the keyword "extern "C" somemethod() {" to define a method that c can use. Then the C linker can use C++ code. It works very well!

This is quite useful. I've had to code something similar to use with LPP+ (in lua) lol.
