Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

unsigned int sf::Font::GetCharacterSize ( ) const

Get the base size of characters in the font; All glyphs dimensions are based on this value.

Returns
Base size of characters
static const Font& sf::Font::GetDefaultFont ( )
static

Get the SFML default built-in font (Arial)

Returns
Instance of the default font
const Glyph& sf::Font::GetGlyph ( Uint32  CodePoint) const

Get the description of a glyph (character) given by its unicode value.

Parameters
CodePoint: Unicode value of the character to get
Returns
Glyph's visual settings, or an invalid glyph if character not found
const Image& sf::Font::GetImage ( ) const

Get the image containing the rendered characters (glyphs)

Returns
Image containing glyphs
bool sf::Font::LoadFromFile ( const std::string &  Filename,
unsigned int  CharSize = 30,
const Unicode::Text Charset = ourDefaultCharset 
)

Load the font from a file.

Parameters
Filename: Font file to load
CharSize: Size of characters in bitmap - the bigger, the higher quality (30 by default)
Charset: Characters set to generate (by default, contains the ISO-8859-1 printable characters)
Returns
True if loading was successful
bool sf::Font::LoadFromMemory ( const char *  Data,
std::size_t  SizeInBytes,
unsigned int  CharSize = 30,
const Unicode::Text Charset = ourDefaultCharset 
)

Load the font from a file in memory.

Parameters
Data: Pointer to the data to load
SizeInBytes: Size of the data, in bytes
CharSize: Size of characters in bitmap - the bigger, the higher quality (30 by default)
Charset: Characters set to generate (by default, contains the ISO-8859-1 printable characters)
Returns
True if loading was successful
