gdx-freetype-gwt

You ever wanted to use freetype on the web version of your game but couldn't? Now you can!

Versions

You have to use a matching libGDX and gdx-freetype-gwt version. See this table for compatibility.

How-To

1. Go to your GdxDefinition.gwt.xml in your html subproject

Add

<inherits name="com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.freetype.freetype-gwt" />

after

<inherits name='com.badlogic.gdx.backends.gdx_backends_gwt' />

2. Change your build.gradle of the html subproject

Add

 implementation "com.github.intrigus.gdx-freetype-gwt:gdx-freetype-gwt:$version"
 implementation "com.github.intrigus.gdx-freetype-gwt:gdx-freetype-gwt:$version:sources"

3. Modify your HtmlLauncher.java (or if it's not named so, modify the class in your html project that extends GwtApplication)

Add

@Override
public void onModuleLoad () {
	FreetypeInjector.inject(new OnCompletion() {
		public void run () {
			// Replace HtmlLauncher with the class name
			// If your class is called FooBar.java than the line should be FooBar.super.onModuleLoad();
			HtmlLauncher.super.onModuleLoad();
		}
	});
}

4. Profit and Enjoy

Note

If gradle fails to resolve the dependency this most likely means that there no matching gdx-freetype-gwt version has been published.

You should try previous versions since freetype is generally updated rarely.

In any case open an issue.
