Samstag from our forums has put in a lot of time and created this Library for PSP Homebrew Programmers. What it does is make it easy for developers to use TrueType fonts in your program. Without something like this, it becomes very difficult and time-consuming to write code to use TrueType Fonts.
I'd like to point out though, this is only for homebrew created using the C language. If you use Lua to make your homebrew, this isn't for you guys.
For those who don't know, most of the fonts which you use are in TrueType format. So it allows you to use almost any font which you like, for example, the Spiderman Font in your own homebrew program. Sounds great doesn't it ? Another great thing is that you can save a lot of your time by simply using this library instead of writing your own code. The time saved can be used to make even better homebrew.
There are a few minor limitations which will be fixed in the next release :
* Generating a lot of text takes time since there is no Font Caching. Which means that any alphabet you use will have to be rendered at runtime. If there was a cache, it would simply store earlier rendered fonts in the cache, so that they could be re-used. Not to worry though, future versions will include some form of caching.
* This version supports only 1 font at a time. Which means you cant have multiple fonts for different text. Again, this will be included in one of the upcoming versions.
If you've done a bit of programming for the PSP, you can feel right at home while using this. There is a comprehensive guide in our forums using which you can integrate this library in your homebrew.
Another great contribution to the homebrew scene by one of my favorite developers. Keep it up Samstag !

Homebrew development is getting easier for newbies to get in; and I really mean it. At first, there wasn't even a toolchain to integrate everything. Then came the toolchain and it pretty much revolutionised homebrew development. This was the case with homebrew games.
Until about a month ago, there wasn't any easy way to make really good games
