TrueType fonts Irrlicht (via Jirr)?

We are using Jirr to use Irrlicht via Java and I wondered if there was a way to use TrueType fonts with Irrlicht and my search came up with http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=3995, however I couldn't find anything on how to use this via Java/Jirr - Does anyone know if this is possibly, and if so, how?

You'd probably have to convert it from C++ to Java, which would no doubt be possible. If it was only a few classes i'd have a go for you, being an ex-Jirr user!

It seems to be only one class to extend Irrlicht (CGUITTFont.cpp, found in the link)! - Although I have no idea on how to convert it, especially not how to access freetype. Any help would be greatly apreciated!

I downloaded it and it looks a bit complicated tbh. All that freetype stuff is in C++ so i guess all that would have to be converted too.

You could always post on the Jirr forum and see if Stefan can do anything with it.
