load-font-0.1.0.0: README.org

* Load Font
  This library aims to a cross-platform (Win/Lin/OSX) way to load a custom font bundled with your Haskell app. The font is automatically unloaded when the app exits.

  It ships with the [[https://www.dafont.com/moon-phases.font][Moon Phases]] font and a GUI demo, ~load-font-exe~ that uses the [[https://hackage.haskell.org/package/fltkhs][FLTKHS]] Haskell GUI library to show that Moon Phases is indeed loaded. It has been tested on Arch Linux, Windows 10 and OSX Sierra.

  While the demo uses FLTKHS font loading and unloading it is agnostic to the GUI framework. FLTKHS is used here simply because it's the easiest to build and install.

  This library owes its existence to [[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/fltkgeneral/uAdg8wOLiMk/_CzBu995AwAJ][Albrecht Schlosser's post on the FLTK mailing list]].

  To run the demo, clone this repo and do:
  #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  > stack build --flag fltkhs:bundled
  > stack exec load-font-exe
  #+END_EXAMPLE
