how to use freetypye in native c

[zouqianqi]

Dear all,

I am trying to use freetype in navtive c.
In linux, I use fontconfig to find the ttf file, then use freeype
to find the the font.
But I can't find fontconfig in Android.
So how can I use freetype in Android? Are there any samples?

Thank you!

There is no freetype support in Android. This is something that I figure would be nice to do fonts in opengl. Let us know if you get it working.

Depending upon your goals, you might also consider using the built-in Android font system. Look at the "SpriteText" example in the SDK to see how to render text with OpenGL using the built-in Android font system. To use this with the NDK you would call back into Java from your native code.

"fontconfig + freetype" is used in my program.
There is no "fontconfig" in andriod, so it can't match a ttf file
needed by freetype.
I also try to set a ttf file to freetype manually, and it seems
freetype can work.
So, I think freetype can be used, but I can't find a way, such as
fontconfig", to match the font library.

just use freetype on your development machine (linux, windows
whatever) to generate a bitmap font that is then used on the mobile
device? this is what we do for console / non-standard platforms as
you can't assume that any kind of library support is available on the
platform.
