Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_BitmapFont_add_char:

- void  **add_char**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` character, :ref:`int<class_int>` texture, :ref:`Rect2<class_rect2>` rect, :ref:`Vector2<class_vector2>` align=Vector2( 0, 0 ), :ref:`float<class_float>` advance=-1  **)**

Add a character to the font, where *character* is the unicode value, *texture* is the texture index, *rect* is the region in the texture (in pixels!), *align* is the (optional) alignment for the character and *advance* is the (optional) advance.

.. _class_BitmapFont_add_kerning_pair:

- void  **add_kerning_pair**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` char_a, :ref:`int<class_int>` char_b, :ref:`int<class_int>` kerning  **)**

Add a kerning pair to the :ref:`BitmapFont<class_bitmapfont>` as a difference. Kerning pairs are special cases where a typeface advance is determined by the next character.

.. _class_BitmapFont_add_texture:

- void  **add_texture**  **(** :ref:`Texture<class_texture>` texture  **)**

Add a texture to the :ref:`BitmapFont<class_bitmapfont>`.

.. _class_BitmapFont_clear:

- void  **clear**  **(** **)**

Clear all the font data.

.. _class_BitmapFont_create_from_fnt:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **create_from_fnt**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` path  **)**

.. _class_BitmapFont_get_char_size:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_vector2>`  **get_char_size**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` char, :ref:`int<class_int>` next=0  **)** const

Return the size of a character, optionally taking kerning into account if the next character is provided.

.. _class_BitmapFont_get_fallback:

- :ref:`BitmapFont<class_bitmapfont>`  **get_fallback**  **(** **)** const

.. _class_BitmapFont_get_kerning_pair:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **get_kerning_pair**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` char_a, :ref:`int<class_int>` char_b  **)** const

Return a kerning pair as a difference.

.. _class_BitmapFont_get_texture:

- :ref:`Texture<class_texture>`  **get_texture**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` idx  **)** const

.. _class_BitmapFont_get_texture_count:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **get_texture_count**  **(** **)** const

.. _class_BitmapFont_set_ascent:

- void  **set_ascent**  **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` px  **)**

Set the font ascent (number of pixels above the baseline).

.. _class_BitmapFont_set_distance_field_hint:

- void  **set_distance_field_hint**  **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enable  **)**

.. _class_BitmapFont_set_fallback:

- void  **set_fallback**  **(** :ref:`BitmapFont<class_bitmapfont>` fallback  **)**

.. _class_BitmapFont_set_height:

- void  **set_height**  **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` px  **)**

Set the total font height (ascent plus descent) in pixels.
