geFont

Usage

geFont is used to load fonts from GLF file format. A tool for converting normal fonts into GLF is located in the SVN repository: \GriffinEngine\glFont2\glfont.exe.

geFont's drawing methods should not be called by the game code. Instead use geText2D, which provides a high-level wrapper for font rendering and integration into geHUD.
