06/11/2020, 10:44 AM@Hanno I've been using stb for a few years, but freetype is, as the author said, an industry standard e.g. in gamedev UDK uses it. Anyway, it is much more advanced than stb 🙂, not only with glyphic metrics, but also with supported font formats. And that's pretty sad that there is lack of binding that works fine on jvm.
