Rust-SDL2_ttf

Rust bindings for SDL2_ttf.

Overview

Rust-SDL2ttf is a library for talking to the new SDL2ttf library from Rust.

Rust-SDL2_ttf uses the MIT licence.

Requirements

• Rust-SDL2
• SDL2_ttf development libraries
• Rust master or nightly

Installation

Place the following into your project's Cargo.toml file:

toml [dependencies] sdl2_ttf = "0.21"

sdl2ttf is directly compatible with the corresponding version of sdl2. Hence sdl2ttf v0.15 is compatible with sdl2 0.15, and so forth. Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed by rust-sdl2, so take that into account when creating new projects !

If you want the newest rust-sdl2_ttf, reference the repository:

toml [dependencies.sdl2_ttf] git = "https://github.com/andelf/rust-sdl2_ttf"

You can also just clone and build the library yourself:

```bash git clone https://github.com/andelf/rust-sdl2ttf cd rust-sdl2ttf cargo build

TODO: OR if you are using the mac framework version

rustc -L. --cfg macframework src/sdl2ttf/lib.rs ```

If you're not using Cargo, you can compile the library manually:

bash git clone https://github.com/andelf/rust-sdl2_ttf cd rust-sdl2_ttf rustc src/sdl2_ttf/lib.rs

Demo

A simple demo that prints out a string given a font is included:

bash cargo run --example demo /path/to/font.(ttf|ttc|fon)
