Interface IFontFactory
The interface to create and manage fonts.
public interface IFontFactory
Methods
NewDynamic(float, string, FontStyle, FontAntiAliasMode, bool, float, float, char)
Create a new instance of a dynamic font.
SpriteFont NewDynamic(float defaultSize, string fontName, FontStyle style, FontAntiAliasMode antiAliasMode = FontAntiAliasMode.Default, bool useKerning = false, float extraSpacing = 0, float extraLineSpacing = 0, char defaultCharacter = ' ')
Parameters
defaultSize
floatThe default size of the font in pixels.
fontName
stringThe family name of the (TrueType) font.
style
FontStyleThe style for the font. A combinaison of 'regular', 'bold' or 'italic'.
antiAliasMode
FontAntiAliasModeThe anti-aliasing mode to use when rendering the font. By default, font textures are rendered in levels of grey.
useKerning
boolSpecifies whether to use kerning information when rendering the font. Default value is false (NOT SUPPORTED YET)
extraSpacing
floatThe character extra spacing in pixels. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
extraLineSpacing
floatThis is the extra distance in pixels to add between each line of text. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
defaultCharacter
charThe default character fall-back.
Returns
- SpriteFont
The newly created dynamic font
NewScalable(float, IList<Glyph>, IList<Image>, float, float, IList<Kerning>, float, float, char)
Create a new instance of a scalable font.
SpriteFont NewScalable(float size, IList<Glyph> glyphs, IList<Image> images, float baseOffset, float defaultLineSpacing, IList<Kerning> kernings = null, float extraSpacing = 0, float extraLineSpacing = 0, char defaultCharacter = ' ')
Parameters
size
floatThe size of the font in pixels.
glyphs
IList<Glyph>The list of the font glyphs
images
IList<Image>The list of images containing the font character data
baseOffset
floatThe number of pixels from the absolute top of the line to the base of the characters.
defaultLineSpacing
floatThe default line spacing of the font.
kernings
IList<Kerning>The list of the kerning information of the font
extraSpacing
floatThe character extra spacing in pixels. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
extraLineSpacing
floatThis is the extra distance in pixels to add between each line of text. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
defaultCharacter
charThe default character fall-back.
Returns
- SpriteFont
The newly created static font
Remarks
The font does not copy the provided glyphs information. Provided glyphs should not be modified after the creation of the font.
NewScalable(float, IList<Glyph>, IList<Texture>, float, float, IList<Kerning>, float, float, char)

SpriteFont NewScalable(float size, IList<Glyph> glyphs, IList<Texture> textures, float baseOffset, float defaultLineSpacing, IList<Kerning> kernings = null, float extraSpacing = 0, float extraLineSpacing = 0, char defaultCharacter = ' ')
Parameters
size
floatThe size of the font in pixels.
glyphs
IList<Glyph>The list of the font glyphs
textures
IList<Texture>The list of textures containing the font character data
baseOffset
floatThe number of pixels from the absolute top of the line to the base of the characters.
defaultLineSpacing
floatThe default line spacing of the font.
kernings
IList<Kerning>The list of the kerning information of the font
extraSpacing
floatThe character extra spacing in pixels. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
extraLineSpacing
floatThis is the extra distance in pixels to add between each line of text. Zero is default spacing, negative closer together, positive further apart.
defaultCharacter
charThe default character fall-back.
Returns
- SpriteFont
The newly created static font
Remarks
The font does not copy the provided textures, glyphs information. Provided data should not be modified after the creation of the font. The textures should be disposed manually (if useless) after that the sprite font is not used anymore.
