fontserver

Is no longer a server, but a library that delivers a range of characters rendered as SDFs (signed distance fields) in a protobuf.

Installing

Make sure you have boost, freetype, icu4c, harfbuzz and protobuf installed. With homebrew, you can type brew install boost --c++11 --with-icu freetype icu4c --c++11 protobuf --c++11. The makefile uses pkg-config to find these libraries and links dynamically to them, so make sure that pkg-config can find them.

npm install

Usage

This is included in the following projects:

• llmr
• tilestream-pro (gl branch)
