The code in imgui.cpp embeds a copy of 'ProggyClean.ttf' that you can use without any external files.
The files in this folder are only provided as a convenience, you can use any of your own .TTF files.

Fonts are rasterized in a single texture at the time of calling either of io.Fonts.GetTexDataAsAlpha8()/GetTexDataAsRGBA32()/Build().

USING ICONS
---------------------------------
2016-11-06 21:53:36 +00:00
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 refer to the icons directly from your strings without having to change fonts back and forth.
To refer to the icon from your C++ code, you can use headers files created by Juliette Foucaut, at https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders
// Merge icons into default tool font
#include "IconsFontAwesome.h"
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
ImFontConfig config;
config.MergeMode = true;
2017-08-07 07:21:21 +00:00
static const ImWchar icon_ranges[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
2016-11-06 21:53:36 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf", 13.0f, &config, icon_ranges);
2017-08-07 07:21:21 +00:00
2016-11-06 21:53:36 +00:00
// Usage, e.g.
ImGui::Text("%s Search", ICON_FA_SEARCH);

FONTS LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
2015-01-18 12:19:49 +00:00
---------------------------------
2014-08-30 19:02:55 +00:00
Load default font with:
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
io.Fonts->AddFontDefault();
2015-01-18 12:19:49 +00:00
Load .TTF file with:
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels);
2015-01-08 23:49:17 +00:00
Detailed options:
ImFontConfig config;
config.OversampleH = 3;
config.OversampleV = 1;
config.GlyphExtraSpacing.x = 1.0f;
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, &config);
If you have very large number of glyphs or multiple fonts:
- Mind the fact that some graphics drivers have texture size limitation.
- Set io.Fonts.TexDesiredWidth to specify a texture width to minimize texture height (see comment in ImFontAtlas::Build function).
- You may reduce oversampling, e.g. config.OversampleH = 2 or 1.
- Reduce glyphs ranges, consider calculating them based on your source data if this is possible.
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
Combine two fonts into one:
// Load a first 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 for duration of font usage
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);
Add a fourth parameter to bake specific font ranges only:
2014-08-30 19:02:55 +00:00
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
// Basic Latin, Extended Latin
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesDefault());
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
// Include full set of about 21000 CJK Unified Ideographs
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese());
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
// Default + Hiragana, Katakana, Half-Width, Selection of 1946 Ideographs
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesChinese());
2014-09-26 00:20:56 +00:00
Offset font vertically by altering the io.Font->DisplayOffset value:
2014-09-26 00:20:56 +00:00
2015-08-06 04:00:27 +00:00
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("font.ttf", size_pixels);
2015-01-18 12:19:49 +00:00
font->DisplayOffset.y += 1; // Render 1 pixel down
2014-08-30 19:02:55 +00:00
---------------------------------
2016-11-06 21:53:36 +00:00
REMAPPING CODEPOINTS
---------------------------------
All your strings needs to use UTF-8 encoding. Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page (such as CP-923 for Japanese CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will not work.
In C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8 by using the u8"hello" syntax. Otherwise you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from file already saved as UTF-8.
You can also try to remap your local codepage characters to their Unicode codepoint using font->AddRemapChar(), but international users may have problems reading/editing your source code.

EMBEDDING FONT IN SOURCE CODE
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
---------------------------------
2017-05-02 08:43:00 +00:00
Compile and use 'binary_to_compressed_c.cpp' to create a compressed C style array.
See the documentation in binary_to_compressed_c.cpp for instruction on how to use the tool.
Then load the font with:
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedTTF(compressed_data, compressed_data_size, size_pixels, ...);
2015-08-06 03:59:07 +00:00
Or
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedBase85TTF(compressed_data_base85, size_pixels, ...);
