TTF_OpenFontDPI(3) SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS TTF_OpenFontDPI(3)

NAME

TTF_OpenFontDPI - Create a font from a file, using target resolutions (in DPI).

HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"
TTF_Font * TTF_OpenFontDPI(const char *file, int ptsize, unsigned int hdpi, unsigned int vdpi);

DESCRIPTION

DPI scaling only applies to scalable fonts (e.g. TrueType).

Some .fon fonts will have several sizes embedded in the file, so the point size becomes the index of choosing which size. If the value is too high, the last indexed size will be the default.

When done with the returned TTF_Font , use

TTF_CloseFont () to dispose of it.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

path to font file.
point size to use for the newly-opened font.
the target horizontal DPI.
the target vertical DPI.

RETURN VALUE

( TTF_Font
*) Returns a valid TTF_Font , or NULL on error.

AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
