+The code in imgui.cpp embeds a copy of 'ProggyClean.ttf' (by Tristan Grimmer),
+a 13 pixels high, pixel-perfect font used by default.
+We embed it font in source code so you can use Dear ImGui without any file system access.
+
+You may also load external .TTF/.OTF files.
+The files in this folder are suggested fonts, provided as a convenience.
+(Note: .OTF support in imstb_truetype.h currently doesn't appear to load every font)
+
+Fonts are rasterized in a single texture at the time of calling either of io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsAlpha8()/GetTexDataAsRGBA32()/Build().
+Also read dear imgui FAQ in imgui.cpp!
+
+If you have other loading/merging/adding fonts, you can post on the Dear ImGui "Getting Started" forum:
+ https://discourse.dearimgui.org/c/getting-started

+ README FIRST / FAQ
+---------------------------------------
+
+ - You can use the style editor ImGui::ShowStyleEditor() to browse your fonts and understand what's going on if you have an issue.
+ - Make sure your font ranges data are persistent (available during the call to GetTexDataAsAlpha8()/GetTexDataAsRGBA32()/Build().
+ - Use C++11 u8"my text" syntax to encode literal strings as UTF-8. e.g.:
+ u8"hello"
+ u8"こんにちは" // this will be encoded as UTF-8
+ - If you want to include a backslash \ character in your string literal, you need to double them e.g. "folder\\filename".
+ - Please use the Discourse forum (https://discourse.dearimgui.org) and not the Github issue tracker for basic font loading questions.
+
+
+---------------------------------------
+ USING ICONS
+---------------------------------------
+
+ Using an icon font (such as FontAwesome: http://fontawesome.io) is an easy and practical way to use icons in your ImGui application.
+ A common pattern is to merge the icon font within your main font, so you can embed icons directly from your strings without
+ having to change fonts back and forth.
+
+ To refer to the icon UTF-8 codepoints from your C++ code, you may use those headers files created by Juliette Foucaut:
+ https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders
+
+ The C++11 version of those files uses the u8"" utf-8 encoding syntax + \u
+ #define ICON_FA_SEARCH u8"\uf002"
+ The pre-C++11 version has the values directly encoded as utf-8:
+ #define ICON_FA_SEARCH "\xEF\x80\x82"
+
+ Example:
+
+ // Merge icons into default tool font
+ #include "IconsFontAwesome.h"
+ ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
+ io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
+
+ ImFontConfig config;
+ config.MergeMode = true;
+ config.GlyphMinAdvanceX = 13.0f; // Use if you want to make the icon monospaced
+ static const ImWchar icon_ranges[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf", 13.0f, &config, icon_ranges);
+
+ // Usage, e.g.
+ ImGui::Button(ICON_FA_SEARCH " Search");
+ // C string _literals_ can be concatenated at compilation time, e.g. "hello" " world"
+ // ICON_FA_SEARCH is defined as a string literal so this is the same as "A" "B" becoming "AB"
+
+ // Usage, e.g.
+ ImGui::Text("%s among %d items", ICON_FA_SEARCH, count);
+
+ See Links below for other icons fonts and related tools.
+
+
+---------------------------------------
+ FONTS LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
+---------------------------------------
+
+ Load default font:
+
+ ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
+ io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
+
+ Load .TTF/.OTF file with:
+
+ ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
+ ImFont* font1 = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels);
+ ImFont* font2 = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("anotherfont.otf", size_pixels);
+
+ // Select font at runtime
+ ImGui::Text("Hello"); // use the default font (which is the first loaded font)
+ ImGui::PushFont(font2);
+ ImGui::Text("Hello with another font");
+ ImGui::PopFont();
+
+ For advanced options create a ImFontConfig structure and pass it to the AddFont function (it will be copied internally):
+
+ ImFontConfig config;
+ config.OversampleH = 3;
+ config.OversampleV = 1;
+ config.GlyphExtraSpacing.x = 1.0f;
+ ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, &config);
+
+ If you have very large number of glyphs or multiple fonts, the texture may become too big for your graphics API.
+ The typical result of failing to upload a texture is if every glyphs appears as white rectangles.
+ In particular, using a large range such as GetGlyphRangesChineseSimplifiedCommon() is not recommended unless you
+ set OversampleH/OversampleV to 1 and use a small font size.
+ Mind the fact that some graphics drivers have texture size limitation.
+ If you are building a PC application, mind the fact that your users may use hardware with lower limitations than yours.
+ Some solutions:
+
+ - 1) Reduce glyphs ranges by calculating them from source localization data. You can use ImFont::GlyphRangesBuilder for this purpose,
+ this will be the biggest win.
+ - 2) You may reduce oversampling, e.g. config.OversampleH = config.OversampleV = 1, this will largely reduce your texture size.
+ - 3) Set io.Fonts.TexDesiredWidth to specify a texture width to minimize texture height (see comment in ImFontAtlas::Build function).
+ - 4) Set io.Fonts.Flags |= ImFontAtlasFlags_NoPowerOfTwoHeight; to disable rounding the texture height to the next power of two.
+
+ Combine two fonts into one:
+
+ // Load a first font
+ ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
+
+ // Add character ranges and merge into the previous font
+ // The ranges array is not copied by the AddFont* functions and is used lazily
+ // so ensure it is available at the time of building or calling GetTexDataAsRGBA32().
+ static const ImWchar icons_ranges[] = { 0xf000, 0xf3ff, 0 }; // Will not be copied by AddFont* so keep in scope.
+ ImFontConfig config;
+ config.MergeMode = true;
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("DroidSans.ttf", 18.0f, &config, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese());
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("fontawesome-webfont.ttf", 18.0f, &config, icons_ranges);
+ io.Fonts->Build();
+
+ Add a fourth parameter to bake specific font ranges only:
+
+ // Basic Latin, Extended Latin
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesDefault());
+
+ // Default + Selection of 2500 Ideographs used by Simplified Chinese
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesChineseSimplifiedCommon());
+
+ // Default + Hiragana, Katakana, Half-Width, Selection of 1946 Ideographs
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese());
+
+ See "BUILDING CUSTOM GLYPH RANGES" section to create your own ranges.
+ Offset font vertically by altering the io.Font->DisplayOffset value:
+
+ ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels);
+ font->DisplayOffset.y = 1; // Render 1 pixel down
+
+
+---------------------------------------
+ FREETYPE RASTERIZER, SMALL FONT SIZES
+---------------------------------------
+
+ Dear ImGui uses imstb_truetype.h to rasterize fonts (with optional oversampling).
+ This technique and its implementation are not ideal for fonts rendered at _small sizes_, which may appear a
+ little blurry or hard to read.
+
+ There is an implementation of the ImFontAtlas builder using FreeType that you can use in the misc/freetype/ folder.
+
+ FreeType supports auto-hinting which tends to improve the readability of small fonts.
+ Note that this code currently creates textures that are unoptimally too large (could be fixed with some work).
+ Also note that correct sRGB space blending will have an important effect on your font rendering quality.
+
+
+---------------------------------------
+ BUILDING CUSTOM GLYPH RANGES
+---------------------------------------
+
+ You can use the ImFontAtlas::GlyphRangesBuilder helper to create glyph ranges based on text input.
+ For example: for a game where your script is known, if you can feed your entire script to it and only build the characters the game needs.
+
+ ImVector<ImWchar> ranges;
+ ImFontAtlas::GlyphRangesBuilder builder;
+ builder.AddText("Hello world"); // Add a string (here "Hello world" contains 7 unique characters)
+ builder.AddChar(0x7262); // Add a specific character
+ builder.AddRanges(io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese()); // Add one of the default ranges
+ builder.BuildRanges(&ranges); // Build the final result (ordered ranges with all the unique characters submitted)
+
+ io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("myfontfile.ttf", size_in_pixels, NULL, ranges.Data);
+ io.Fonts->Build(); // Build the atlas while 'ranges' is still in scope and not deleted.
+
+
+---------------------------------------
+ EMBEDDING FONTS IN SOURCE CODE
+---------------------------------------
+
+ Compile and use 'binary_to_compressed_c.cpp' to create a compressed C style array that you can embed in source code.
+ See the documentation in binary_to_compressed_c.cpp for instruction on how to use the tool.
+ You may find a precompiled version binary_to_compressed_c.exe for Windows instead of demo binaries package (see README).
+ The tool optionally used Base85 encoding to reduce the size of _source code_ but the read-only arrays will be about 20% bigger.
+
+ Then load the font with:
+ ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedTTF(compressed_data, compressed_data_size, size_pixels, ...);
+ or:
+ ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedBase85TTF(compressed_data_base85, size_pixels, ...);
