NFont is a bitmap font library for SDL. It's written in C++, but there's a port to C as well. NFont can animate the positions of individual characters and can be used like a cache for SDL_ttf (making it more efficient and easier to use).

This thread is intended as a resource for learning, using, and troubleshooting NFont. NFont can be found at:
