BDF Font Support?

Open zicklag opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I'm thinking of using this for my Retro Rust game engine, but if possible I would like to support the BDF font format which seems to be often used for low-resolution bitmap fonts.

Is this out of scope for fontdue?

Na I'm just doing TTF and OTF here. If someone writes a decent no-std BDF parser I'd consider writing support for it.

OK, cool. For now I'll just use bitmap TTF fonts, but I might write a no-std BDF parser sometime and try to integrate it into Fontdue if it becomes worth it for my app, thanks!
