Bitmap fonts are provided in three types: black binary images, grayscale 4 gradations and 16 gradations.
Font loader [➡Get glyph]
Get font outline data in a format called FW glyph format. Data can be passed to a system that draws vector data (OpenVG, etc.) or passed to this system for rasterization.
Scaler [➡ Scaling]
Expands or contracts the acquired FW glyph to the specified size. Hinting processing is also performed here to output a cleaner bitmap. Since scaling can be performed vertically and horizontally, you can also get the outline of the original font in the rectangular or flat style.
Rasterizer [➡Rasterize]
Create a bitmap by rasterizing the acquired FW glyph. It is possible to obtain not only normal monochrome (binary image) but also anti-aliased bitmap. You can also tilt it to make italic, rotate it in 1 degree increments, and thicken strokes to make it bold (when using anti-aliasing, Fontworks font only).
