| This is frustrating because I know the final code will be so simple, but the documentation is so bad. Has anyone successfully used FreeType 2 to render text? |

| Huh? BlitzMax uses it, are you looking to update pub.freetype to latest version or what? |

| No, this is in C++. I know BMX uses it, but I haven't found code that actually renders text yet. There's a Nehe example but it's buried in mountains of window initialization and display list code...and of course, it doesn't even compile. Last edited 2010 |

| I got it figured out, although it took half a day. What's hilarious is you still have to make your own texture atlases. So I could have made a simple BMX tool to convert ttf to dds and would have been done with it. |
