TrueType Font using C

Hi All,

I want to display unicode data using TrueType and OpenType Font using C code. Kindly suggest me if i can download C code for this purpose from any where or how i can do this

Kind Regards,
Tanveer

In what median are you wanting to display it? OS information would be relevant.

Just to expand a bit on carrotcake's answer:

If you are just wanting to draw fonts, using the current OS's existing methods, then it's probably quite easy. Drawing fonts from outline data (which those fonts are) is definitely non-trivial. There is code included in various open-source projects (X-windows would be one place to have a look), but it is not what you'd call "easy reading" code. It is certainly several thousand lines of code, including a fair bit of it that require that you understand how those types of fonts are stored and how to decode that into a glyph that can be drawn onto the screen.

Here you go, something I whipped up in C a while ago... based on a C++ implementation. http://code.google.com/p/harw/source...rc/util/font.c

It doesn't do unicode (nor is it pretty), but you do have to do some work.
