(This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.)

TTF_OpenFontRW

Create a font from an SDL_RWops, using a specified point size.

Syntax

TTF_Font * TTF_OpenFontRW(SDL_RWops *src, SDL_bool freesrc, int ptsize);

Function Parameters

src an SDL_RWops to provide a font file's data.
freesrc SDL_TRUE to close the RWops when the font is closed, SDL_FALSE to leave it open.
ptsize point size to use for the newly-opened font.

Return Value

Returns a valid TTF_Font, or NULL on error.

Remarks

Some .fon fonts will have several sizes embedded in the file, so the point size becomes the index of choosing which size. If the value is too high, the last indexed size will be the default.

If freesrc is SDL_TRUE, the RWops will be automatically closed once the font is closed. Otherwise you should close the RWops yourself after closing the font.

When done with the returned TTF_Font, use TTF_CloseFont() to dispose of it.

Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
