Installation

dotnet add package McEndu.FreeTypeSharp

Usage

There's no magic(abstraction) based on the original C freetype API. All managed API are almost identical with the original freetype C API.
Import the namespaces like using FreeTypeSharp; and using static FreeTypeSharp.FT;, then you can play the font rendering as what you do in C.

Here are few sample code:

using static FreeTypeSharp.FT;
using static FreeTypeSharp.FT_LOAD;
using static FreeTypeSharp.FT_Render_Mode_;

FT_LibraryRec_* lib;
FT_FaceRec_* face;
var error = FT_Init_FreeType(&lib);

error = FT_New_Face(lib, (byte*)Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("some_font_name.ttf"), 0, &face);
error = FT_Set_Char_Size(face, 0, 16 * 64, 300, 300);
var glyphIndex = FT_Get_Char_Index(face, 'F');
error = FT_Load_Glyph(face, glyphIndex, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT);
error = FT_Render_Glyph(face->glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL);
...
