RFont

Simple single header modular library for font rendering and atlas management, by Riley Mabb.
The library is designed to be lightweight, RFont.h itself does not directly handle rendering calls, it passes raw data to the user defined renderer.

RFont_gl and RFont_gl1 serve as examples of user defined renderers.

RFont is written in Pure C89. It uses stdint.h and inline by default.

Adding #define RFONT_C89 will use fallbacks for stdint.h and inline.

stb_truetype

RFont uses stb_truetype for working with fonts.

A modified version of stb_truetype is included in the RFont header.
But you can use an external copy by adding #define RFONT_EXTERNAL_STB to your code

Fontstash

Fontstash is another font rendering library with simular goals.

Fontash was used as a reference for some of this code.

However, this library is intended to have better perfromance and be more lightweight than fontstash.
