Overview

A typeface loaded from a TTF/OTF file.

font = SFML::Font.default                                                # bundled DejaVu Sans
font = SFML::Font.load("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf")
font = SFML::Font.find("DejaVuSans")                                     # search common locations

Class Method Details

.default ⇒ Object

The default font bundled with ruby-sfml. Use this when you don’t care which typeface as long as you can render text — examples, debug HUDs, prototypes. Memoized so subsequent calls return the same Font instance.

def self.default
  @default ||= load(DEFAULT_PATH)
end

.find(name) ⇒ Object

Look up a font on disk by basename (with or without extension). Useful for examples that should “just run” — production code should ship its own font files. Returns nil if nothing is found.

      File.basename(path).downcase.sub(/\.(ttf|otf)\z/, "") == target
    end
    return load(match) if match
  end
  nil
end

.from_memory(bytes) ⇒ Object

Load a font from a Ruby String of bytes — useful when the font lives inside a ‘data:` URL, an embedded asset, or a network response. The bytes are copied by SFML before this call returns; the caller’s String can be GC’d safely.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

def self.from_memory(bytes)
  raise ArgumentError, "expected a String, got #{bytes.class}" unless bytes.is_a?(String)

  buf = FFI::MemoryPointer.new(:uint8, bytes.bytesize)
  buf.write_bytes(bytes)
  ptr = C::Graphics.sfFont_createFromMemory(buf, bytes.bytesize)
  raise Error, "sfFont_createFromMemory returned NULL" if ptr.null?

  font = allocate
  font.send(:_take_ownership, ptr)
  # CSFML doesn't copy the font bytes — keep them pinned so the
  # GC doesn't free them while CSFML still references the buffer.
  font.instance_variable_set(:@_memory_pin, buf)
  font
end

.from_stream(io) ⇒ Object

Load a TTF/OTF from any Ruby IO-like object — file, in-memory, network-backed reader. Keep the IO open until the Font is no longer in use; CSFML reads glyphs lazily.

#dup ⇒ Object Also known as: clone

Deep copy. The returned font has its own atlas state; mutate one without affecting the other.

  raise Error, "sfFont_copy returned NULL" if ptr.null?

  font = self.class.allocate
  font.send(:_take_ownership, ptr)
  font
end

#family ⇒ Object

Human-readable family name (e.g. “DejaVu Sans”). Read once via ‘sfFont_getInfo` — CSFML returns a static C string from FreeType so we copy out into a Ruby String.

# File 'lib/sfml/graphics/font.rb', line 98

def family
  info = C::Graphics.sfFont_getInfo(@handle)
  info[:family].null? ? nil : info[:family].read_string
end

#has_glyph?(codepoint) ⇒ Boolean

‘true` if the font has a glyph for the given Unicode codepoint (Integer) or single-character String.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def has_glyph?(codepoint)
  cp = codepoint.is_a?(String) ? codepoint.codepoints.first : Integer(codepoint)
  C::Graphics.sfFont_hasGlyph(@handle, cp || 0)
end

#kerning(first, second, character_size:, bold: false) ⇒ Object

Horizontal kerning offset between two adjacent glyphs at the given character size. Float, in pixels (often negative — the kern pulls the second glyph leftward).

  b = second.is_a?(String) ? second.codepoints.first : Integer(second)
  fn = bold ? :sfFont_getBoldKerning : :sfFont_getKerning
  C::Graphics.send(fn, @handle, a || 0, b || 0, Integer(character_size))
end

#line_spacing(character_size) ⇒ Object

Distance between two consecutive baselines for the given character size. Float, in pixels.

  C::Graphics.sfFont_setSmooth(@handle, !!value)

#smooth? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


89
 
# File 'lib/sfml/graphics/font.rb', line 89

def smooth?       = C::Graphics.sfFont_isSmooth(@handle)

#texture(character_size) ⇒ Object

The internal glyph atlas as a ‘SFML::Texture` (read-only — we don’t own the pointer; CSFML keeps it alive as long as the font does).

  return nil if ptr.null?
  Texture.send(:_borrow, ptr)
end

#underline_position(character_size) ⇒ Object

Vertical offset of the underline from the baseline (positive values point downward). Float, in pixels.

#underline_thickness(character_size) ⇒ Object

Thickness of the underline stroke. Float, in pixels.
