stb_truetype

RFont uses stb_truetype for working with fonts.

A modified version of stb_truetype is included in the RFont header.
But you can use an external copy by adding #define RFONT_EXTERNAL_STB to your code

Fontstash

Fontstash is another font rendering library with simular goals.

Fontash was used as a reference for some of this code.

However, this library is intended to have better perfromance and be more lightweight than fontstash.
