IGUIEnvironment::getFont -- loading font from memory
IGUIEnvironment::getFont -- loading font from memory
Hello folks, thank you for your help last time. I am looking for something a bit more particular this time around. My filesystem in my game engine is customized for mod support and different archive types, and it has the ability to read direct from a file and store that into memory. Good for textures and images, since I can put those into Irrlicht with a little bit of conversion. Trouble is, there's no readily apparent way of getting fonts via IGUIEnvironment::getFont using just the memory of the file. Is there a way that I can load the font using just the memory of the font? Thanks.

Re: IGUIEnvironment::getFont -- loading font from memory
Yes, this is an API deficiency, it should have an IReadFile alternative (seeing as CGUIFont has one already).
You can either add the method, should be fairly easy, or work around it client-side loading manually a CGUIFont.

Thanks for the word on this. I'll likely get working on that tonight. I don't know how I plan to share my source with you guys though, since I feel that others could benefit. I imagine it's a simple method to add though. ^^
Thanks again, always a pleasure.
