Font Manager
============
Font Manager is a secondary encapsulation of :ref:`freetype`, which provides
facilities for high-level applications to manage and use vector fonts. Currently
provided font-management functions includes:
- Font resource reference counting (reduces repeated creation of font resources).
- Font resource concatenation (font fallback).
- Font resource recycling mechanism (buffers recently deleted font resources to
reduce the time overhead of repeated creation).
.. _font_manager_usage:
Usage
*****
Enable FreeType and Font Manager in ``lv_conf.h`` by setting the
:c:macro:`LV_USE_FREETYPE` and :c:macro:`LV_USE_FONT_MANAGER` macros to non-zero
values, and configure :c:macro:`LV_FONT_MANAGER_NAME_MAX_LEN` to set the maximum
length of the font name.
Initialize Font Manager
-----------------------
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_create` to create a font manager, where the
:cpp:func:`recycle_cache_size` parameter is used to set the number of font recycling
caches, which can improve font creation efficiency.
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_add_path_static` to add a mapping between the font
file path and the custom font name, so that the application can access the font
resources more conveniently. It should be noted that if the file path is not static
(assigned from a local variable), use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_add_path` to
add the path. This function will make its own copy of the string.
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_remove_path` to remove the font path mapping.
.. code-block:: c
static lv_font_manager_t * g_font_manager = NULL;
void font_manager_init(void)
{
/* Create font manager, with 8 fonts recycling buffers */
g_font_manager = lv_font_manager_create(8);
/* Add font path mapping to font manager */
lv_font_manager_add_path_static(g_font_manager, "Lato-Regular", "./lvgl/examples/libs/freetype/Lato-Regular.ttf");
lv_font_manager_add_path_static(g_font_manager, "MyFont", "./path/to/myfont.ttf");
}
Create Font from Font Manager
-----------------------------
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_create_font` to create a font. The parameters are
basically the same as :cpp:func:`lv_freetype_font_create`.
The ``font_family`` parameter can be filled with the names of multiple fonts
(separated by ``,``) to achieve font concatenation (when the corresponding glyph is
not found in a font file, it will automatically search from the next concatenated
font).
.. code-block:: c
static lv_font_t * g_font = NULL;
/* Create font from font manager */
lv_font_t * g_font = lv_font_manager_create_font(g_font_manager,
"Lato-Regular,MyFont",
LV_FREETYPE_FONT_RENDER_MODE_BITMAP,
24,
LV_FREETYPE_FONT_STYLE_NORMAL);
/* Create label with the font */
lv_obj_t * label = lv_label_create(lv_screen_active());
lv_obj_set_style_text_font(label, g_font, 0);
lv_label_set_text(label, "Hello World!");
Delete Font
-----------
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_delete_font` to delete the font when it is no longer needed.
The font manager will mark the font resource as a recyclable font so that it has the
possibility of being more quickly created next time.
Note that you need to delete any Widgets that used the font first, and then
delete the font to avoid accessing wild pointers.
.. code-block:: c
/* Delete label and font */
lv_obj_delete(label);
lv_font_manager_delete_font(g_font_manager, g_font);
g_font = NULL;
Delete Font Manager
-------------------
Use :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_delete` to destroy the entire font manager. It should
be noted that before destruction, it is necessary to ensure that the application has
deleted all fonts using :cpp:func:`lv_font_manager_delete_font`. The font manager
will check the reference status of all allocated fonts. If there are still fonts
being referenced, the font manager will fail to be destroyed and the function will return false.
