Vertext not working
Apr 14th, 2010, 10:05am
 
Hi everyone,

I am working on an e-book reader application that loads text from a txt file and then allows the user to scroll around and zoom in/out.

The problem is that the default text in Processing looks very ugly when you zoom in. After searching for a solution, I found a library called Vertext that might solve my problem.

However, after downloading the library and putting it in the libraries folder, I copied the same code on Vertext's homepage, but it did not work:

Does it work for anyone of you people? because I tried a lot on many different PCs, but it did not work at all.

If it I can't get it to work, is there any other good library that does the same job?

Thanks

IIRC, Vertext is to allow vector text in OpenGL.
In Java2D mode, you can just use createFont() in native mode, it allows variable scaling of text without aliasing.
