Font loading · measuring · rasterizing
Give every glyph a place.
Load BDF bitmap fonts and TrueType outlines, measure UTF-8 text, and draw into Tessel images.
gem install glyphic
From font data to a measured line.
Keep text layout and drawing close to the Ruby graphics code that uses it.
Measure text
Wrap UTF-8 strings and lay out text boxes.
Resolve missing glyphs
Configure fallbacks and use the built-in example font.
A small first step
Start with one example.
Install the gem, then follow the project guide for platform requirements and the full API.
require "glyphic"
require "tessel"
font = Glyphic.default
image = Tessel::Image.new(320, 112, fill: "#101827")
font.draw(image, 12, 12, "Glyphic", color: "#fbbf24")
image.write("type.png")
