love.graphics.newImageFont
| Available since LÖVE 0.2.0 |
| This function is not supported in earlier versions. |
Creates a new Font by loading a specifically formatted image. There can be up to 256 glyphs.
|
This function can be slow if it is called repeatedly, such as from love.update or love.draw. If you need to use a specific resource often, create it once and store it somewhere it can be reused! |
|
|
In versions prior to 0.9.0, LÖVE expects ISO 8859-1 encoding for the glyphs string. |
