AngelCode Fonts - Kerning

I already did most of the legwork earlier this week, but hadn't gotten around to turning on support for kerning, but that's all changed now:



Pretty easy to see the benefits of kerning here. However, this example also shows I seem to have a little problem with my low-hanging characters like 'g' and 'p'. Hopefully that will be fixed in the next update.

For now, here's the source:

package org.sgine.render

import org.sgine.math.mutable.Matrix4

import javax.imageio.ImageIO

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11._

import scala.io.Source

object TestFonts {
 def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
  val r = Renderer.createFrame(1024, 768, "Test Fonts")
  
  val m1 = Matrix4().translate(x = -200.0, z = -1000.0)
  val m2 = Matrix4().translate(x = -200.0, y = -25.0, z = -1000.0)
  val fps = FPS(1.0)
  
  val font = AngelCodeFont(Source.fromURL(getClass.getClassLoader.getResource("resource/Arial.fnt")), getClass.getClassLoader.getResource("resource/Arial.png"))
  
  val a = new Array[() => Unit](5)
  a(0) = MatrixState(m1)
  a(1) = () => font.drawString("VAST Kerning Example Enabled", true)
  a(2) = MatrixState(m2)
  a(3) = () => font.drawString("VAST Kerning Example Disabled", false)
  a(4) = fps
  r.renderable := RenderList(a)
 }
}

A couple more days of effort and we can hopefully dig into some much more interesting features. :)
