In the "old" Indielib, TrueType font support was added by some drop in code created by an old forum user called venomjj. Basically it was a new fontmanager + fontobject that make use of the the freetype library.

The freetype library:
http://www.freetype.org/index.html

The venomjj code:
http://venomjj.indielib.com/a_17_IND_TTFFont.rar

To support this in the new crossplatform setup we need to make sure that we can use freetype inside Indielib crossplatform ( is it ok regarding license ?)

I have mailed venomjj (the embedded mail adress inside the code), and asked permission to use his code inside Indielib crossplatform ( I think the license is ok, - but it never hurts to be polite in theese matters ;-) ).

Just recieved an Ok from venomjj, regarding implementing his code into Indielib-crossplatform using the lgpl license. We just have to remember to give him credits for it.

The only ting left is to evaluate the freetype library license.

..and we have evaluated the license, and Darthmike and I find it useable, - so I have created the truetype branch, incorporated venomjj's code and have begun the setup in xcode.

The IND_TTF tutorial is set up and tested in VS2012 and i XCode. Linux + IOS is not tested. There is a great deal of "cleaning up" todo, since benomjj placed the render code in the tmx stuff and not in the actual render itself.
