TypeServer Basics

There are six basic steps in using TypeServer:

1. Create a TypeServer Server to perform TrueType rendering.
2. Define a target Bitmap to render to.
3. Select and open a TrueType Font.
4. Create a font Strike and set attributes for size, color, positioning, transfer mode, etc.
5. Draw text (repeat steps 3-5, as necessary).
6. Terminate - close all strikes, close all fonts, close all bitmaps, close TypeServer.

The following pages provide a quick outline illustrating how each of these steps are performed.  TypeServer comes with interfaces for both standard C and C++.  To continue with the language track of your choice, click the appropriate "next" below:
