# imgui_freetype
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build font atlases using FreeType instead of stb_truetype (which is the default font rasterizer).

|
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Get latest FreeType binaries or build yourself (under Windows you may use vcpkg with `vcpkg install freetype --triplet=x64-windows`, `vcpkg integrate install`).
|
||
|
|
2. Add imgui_freetype.h/cpp alongside your project files.
|
||
|
|
3. Add `#define IMGUI_ENABLE_FREETYPE` in your [imconfig.h](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/imconfig.h) file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### About Gamma Correct Blending
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeType assumes blending in linear space rather than gamma space.
|
||
|
|
See FreeType note for [FT_Render_Glyph](https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-glyph_retrieval.html#ft_render_glyph).
|
||
|
|
For correct results you need to be using sRGB and convert to linear space in the pixel shader output.
|
||
|
|
The default Dear ImGui styles will be impacted by this change (alpha values will need tweaking).

||
|

|
### Testbed for toying with settings (for developers)
|
||
|
|

|
### Known issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Oversampling settins are ignored but also not so much necessary with the higher quality rendering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Comparison
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Small, thin anti-aliased fonts typically benefit a lot from FreeType's hinting:

### Colorful glyphs/emojis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use the `ImGuiFreeTypeBuilderFlags_LoadColor` flag to load certain colorful glyphs. See the
|
||
|
|
["Using Colorful Glyphs/Emojis"](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FONTS.md#using-colorful-glyphsemojis) section of FONTS.md.
