Open Surge comes with predefined fonts that you can use (check the fonts/ folder). Also, you can add your own fonts. Font scripts (.fnt) are human-readable: they can be opened with any simple text editor like Notepad or gedit.

Bitmap fonts are fixed-width fonts. Essentially, you provide to Open Surge an image containing lots of characters, all of them having the same size. Besides, you tell the engine which characters correspond to each block in the image. Working that way, whenever you want the engine to display some text, it will read your font definition and copy the correct blocks in your image to the screen, hence drawing the text you need.

Bitmap fonts have their characters extracted from an image. Essentially, you provide an image containing lots of characters and tell the engine which characters correspond to which blocks in the image. Working that way, whenever you want the engine to display some text, it will read your font definition and copy the correct blocks of your image to the screen, hence drawing the text you need.

There are two kinds of bitmap fonts: monospaced and flexible.

==== Monospaced fonts ====

A monospaced bitmap font is a font in which all characters have the same size. Example:
  
 
[[File:Smallfont.png]]

* '''source_file''' is the file where the engine should grab the characters
+
* This is a '''bitmap''' font called '''small'''
  
−
* '''source_rect''' describes a rectangle in the image (x-position, y-position, width and height). The entire set of characters are contained in this rectangle
+
* '''source_file''' is the path to the file where the engine should grab the characters

* '''frame_size''' is the size of each character in the rectangle above
  
 
* '''keymap''' is the association between the image and their respective characters (from left to right, top to bottom)
 
* '''keymap''' is the association between the image and their respective characters (from left to right, top to bottom)
 +
 +
==== Flexible fonts ====
 +
 +
Since Open Surge 0.5.0, you may also work with flexible fonts: bitmap fonts having characters of different sizes. You must specify the rectangle of each character individually. Although these fonts require a denser definition script, they usually provide more aesthetically pleasing results.
 +
 +
[[File:Good_neighbors.png]]
 +
 +
In the example below, the parameters are as follows:
 +
 +
* This is a '''bitmap''' font called '''GoodNeighbors'''
 +
 +
* '''source_file''' is the path to the file where the engine should grab the characters
 +
 +
* '''char''' is a block that describes the configuration of each character. You may specify the character directly or use its hex code (e.g., ''char "\x7f"'').
 +
** '''source_rect''' describes the rectangle in the image associated to the character (respectively: x-position, y-position, width and height).
 +
 +
* Optionally, '''spacing''' describes the pixel spacing between characters (respectively: x and y spacing), defaulting to 1 pixel on both axis.
 +
** This parameter can also be used on monospaced fonts.

 +

Open Surge supports True-Type fonts since version 0.2.0. True-Type fonts are the ones one usually uses in modern text editors: DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif, Helvetica, Arial, etc.
 +
 +
==== Where to find ====
 +
 +
[https://fonts.google.com/ Google Fonts] has many freely available True-Type fonts that you can pick for your game.
 +
 +
==== Example script ====
 +
 +
Creating a .fnt script for True-Type fonts is super easy. Say you want to add fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf to the engine (make sure the file exists). Save the following to fonts/dejavu.fnt:
 +
 +
font "dejavu"
 +
{
 +
    truetype
 +
    {
 +
        source_file            "fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf"
 +
        size                    13
 +
    }
 +
}
 +
 +
* This is a font called '''dejavu'''
 +
 +
* '''source_file''' is the path to your .ttf file
 +
 +
* '''size''' is the size you want to pick. The higher this value, the larger the font.
 +
 +
* Optionally, you may add the '''antialias''' keyword inside the ''truetype'' block to make the font antialiased.
 +
 +
* Optionally, you may also add the '''shadow''' keyword inside the ''truetype'' block. It will create a simple shadow effect.
 +
 +
==== Multilingual support ====
 +
[[File:Korean_menu.png|512px|thumb|right|Game menu in Korean]]
 +
Some languages use glyphs that are not available in generic True-Type fonts. For example, there are languages spoken in Asian countries that fit this category. Open Surge can change the fonts dynamically, so it renders different fonts for different languages.
 +
 +
Each language has an ID defined at the LANG_ID entry in the [[Translation Guide|language file]]. For example, "ko_KR" stands for Korean. The script below defines a font called '''multilang''' that loads GothicA1-Bold.ttf for Korean, or Ubuntu-B.ttf for any other language.
 +
 +
// General definition
 +
font "multilang"
 +
{
 +
    truetype
 +
    {
 +
        source_file            "fonts/Ubuntu-B.ttf"
 +
        size                    24
 +
        antialias
 +
        shadow
 +
    }
 +
}
 +
 +
// Font definition for Korean
 +
font "multilang" for "ko_KR"
 +
{
 +
    truetype
 +
    {
 +
        source_file            "fonts/GothicA1-Bold.ttf"
 +
        size                    24
 +
        antialias
 +
        shadow
 +
    }
 +
}
 +
 +
In addition, you may set different font sizes for different languages. This may be useful when [[Translation Guide|translating the game]].
 +
 +
Multilingual support is available since Open Surge 0.5.1.
 +
 +
== Adding and modifying text ==
 +
 +
In order to add and modify text to your game, you should use language files. For more information, refer to the [[Translation Guide]] - particularly the '''language extensions''' section.

Overview

Fonts are used to display texts in Open Surge. They are described by .fnt scripts located in the fonts/ folder and they can be classified in two types:

  • Bitmap fonts
  • True-Type fonts

Open Surge comes with predefined fonts that you can use (check the fonts/ folder). Also, you can add your own fonts. Font scripts (.fnt) are human-readable: they can be opened with any simple text editor like Notepad or gedit.

Font types

Bitmap

Bitmap fonts have their characters extracted from an image. Essentially, you provide an image containing lots of characters and tell the engine which characters correspond to which blocks in the image. Working that way, whenever you want the engine to display some text, it will read your font definition and copy the correct blocks of your image to the screen, hence drawing the text you need.

There are two kinds of bitmap fonts: monospaced and flexible.

Monospaced fonts

A monospaced bitmap font is a font in which all characters have the same size. Example:

Smallfont.png

You may then open a simple text editor and save the following script to fonts/small.fnt (this file name doesn't affect the font): 

font "small"
{
    bitmap
    {
        source_file             "fonts/smallfont.png"
        source_rect             0 0 128 72
        frame_size              8 12
        keymap                  " !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_\x60abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~"
    }
}
  • This is a bitmap font called small
  • source_file is the path to the file where the engine should grab the characters
  • source_rect describes a rectangle in the image (respectively: x-position, y-position, width and height). The entire set of characters is contained in this rectangle
  • frame_size is the size of each character in the rectangle above
  • keymap is the association between the image and their respective characters (from left to right, top to bottom)

Flexible fonts

Since Open Surge 0.5.0, you may also work with flexible fonts: bitmap fonts having characters of different sizes. You must specify the rectangle of each character individually. Although these fonts require a denser definition script, they usually provide more aesthetically pleasing results.

Good neighbors.png

In the example below, the parameters are as follows:

  • This is a bitmap font called GoodNeighbors
  • source_file is the path to the file where the engine should grab the characters
  • char is a block that describes the configuration of each character. You may specify the character directly or use its hex code (e.g., char "\x7f").
    • source_rect describes the rectangle in the image associated to the character (respectively: x-position, y-position, width and height).
  • Optionally, spacing describes the pixel spacing between characters (respectively: x and y spacing), defaulting to 1 pixel on both axis.
    • This parameter can also be used on monospaced fonts.

{
    bitmap
    {
        source_file             "fonts/good_neighbors.png"

Where to find

OpenGameArt has many freely available Bitmap fonts that you can pick for your game.

True-Type

Open Surge supports True-Type fonts since version 0.2.0. True-Type fonts are the ones one usually uses in modern text editors: DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif, Helvetica, Arial, etc.

Where to find

Google Fonts has many freely available True-Type fonts that you can pick for your game.

Example script

Creating a .fnt script for True-Type fonts is super easy. Say you want to add fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf to the engine (make sure the file exists). Save the following to fonts/dejavu.fnt: 

font "dejavu"
{
    truetype
    {
        source_file             "fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf"
        size                    13
    }
}
  • This is a font called dejavu
  • source_file is the path to your .ttf file
  • size is the size you want to pick. The higher this value, the larger the font.
  • Optionally, you may add the antialias keyword inside the truetype block to make the font antialiased.
  • Optionally, you may also add the shadow keyword inside the truetype block. It will create a simple shadow effect.

Multilingual support

Game menu in Korean

Some languages use glyphs that are not available in generic True-Type fonts. For example, there are languages spoken in Asian countries that fit this category. Open Surge can change the fonts dynamically, so it renders different fonts for different languages.

Each language has an ID defined at the LANG_ID entry in the language file. For example, "ko_KR" stands for Korean. The script below defines a font called multilang that loads GothicA1-Bold.ttf for Korean, or Ubuntu-B.ttf for any other language. 

// General definition
font "multilang"
{
    truetype
    {
        source_file             "fonts/Ubuntu-B.ttf"
        size                    24
        antialias
        shadow
    }
}

// Font definition for Korean
font "multilang" for "ko_KR"
{
    truetype
    {
        source_file             "fonts/GothicA1-Bold.ttf"
        size                    24
        antialias
        shadow
    }
}

In addition, you may set different font sizes for different languages. This may be useful when translating the game.

Multilingual support is available since Open Surge 0.5.1.

Adding and modifying text

In order to add and modify text to your game, you should use language files. For more information, refer to the Translation Guide - particularly the language extensions section.
