[Guide] Juce Font Embedding (2019)

[papakos]

If you use wither the Projcuer assets or the BinaryBuilder provided in the JUCE extras, then you can embed any assets into cpp files.

Loading font from a file

Just a clarification this process does NOT necessarily need Projucer. using the BinaryBuilder as shown below these assets can be embedded in any project, CMAKE or otherwise (even without JUCE). $JUCE_HOME/build/extras/BinaryBuilder/BinaryBuilder_artefacts/Debug/BinaryBuilder <directory_where_font[s]_are> <directory_where_cpp_hpp_files_wil_be_placed> BinaryAssets

The cpp files look like that below

//BinaryFonts.hpp
namespace BinaryFonts {
	extern const char *Font_ttf; // this reflects the file name
	const int          Font_ttfSize = 804612;
}
_______________________________________________
//BinaryFonts.cpp
#include "BinaryFonts.hpp"

static const unsigned char temp2[] = {0,1,19,...};


const char *BinaryFonts::Font_ttf = (const char *)temp1;
