<p>Printing text to the screen is quite easy:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(draw-text &quot;Hello, world&quot; (vec2 100.0 100.0))
</pre></div>

<p>Chickadee supports OpenType/TrueType fonts (via the FreeType library),
bitmap fonts in Angel Code bmfont format, and simple sprite sheet
bitmap fonts.  A default font named Inconsolata is used for all text
rendering operations where a font is not specified, as is the case in
the above example.
</p>
<p>The following procedures can be found in the <code>(chickadee graphics
font)</code> module:
</p>
<dl>
<dt id="index-load_002dfont">Procedure: <strong>load-font</strong> <em>file-name point-size [#:char-set]</em></dt>
<dd><p>Load the scalable (OpenType, TrueType, etc.) font in the file
<var>file-name</var> and display it at the given <var>point-size</var>.  By
default, all the characters in the ASCII character set are loaded.
This can be changed by passing a different character set
(see <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Character-Sets.html#Character-Sets">Character Sets</a> in <cite>GNU Guile Reference Manual</cite>) using
the <var>char-set</var> keyword argument.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-load_002dbitmap_002dfont">Procedure: <strong>load-bitmap-font</strong> <em>file</em></dt>
<dd><p>Load the Angel Code font (in either XML or FNT format) in <var>file</var>
and return a new font object.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_003f">Procedure: <strong>font?</strong> <em>obj</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return <code>#t</code> if <var>obj</var> is a font object.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_002dface">Procedure: <strong>font-face</strong> <em>font</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return the name of <var>font</var>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_002dline_002dheight">Procedure: <strong>font-line-height</strong> <em>font</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return the line height of <var>font</var>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_002dline_002dheight-1">Procedure: <strong>font-line-height</strong> <em>font</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return the line height of <var>font</var>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_002dbold_003f">Procedure: <strong>font-bold?</strong> <em>font</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return <code>#t</code> if <var>font</var> is a bold font.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-font_002ditalic_003f">Procedure: <strong>font-italic?</strong> <em>font</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return <code>#t</code> if <var>font</var> is an italicized font.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt id="index-draw_002dtext">Procedure: <strong>draw-text</strong> <em>text position</em></dt>
<dd><p>[#:font] [#:color] [#:origin] [#:scale] [#:rotation] [#:blend-mode]
       [#:start 0] [#:end <code>(string-length text)</code>]
</p>
<p>Draw the string <var>text</var> with the first character starting at
<var>position</var> using <var>font</var>.  If <var>font</var> is not specified, a
built-in font is used.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(draw-text &quot;Hello, world!&quot; (vec2 128.0 128.0))
</pre></div>

<p>To render a substring of <var>text</var>, use the <var>start</var> and <var>end</var>
arguments.
</p>
<p>Refer to <code>draw-sprite</code> (see <a href="Sprites.html">Sprites</a>) for information about
the other arguments.
</p></dd></dl>
