This is a .NET Framework 4.8 fork from AristurtleDev/Forme. Forme renders text directly from quadratic Bezier glyph outline data on the GPU without precomputed textures, distance fields, or rasterized atlases. At any size and any scale, text remains sharp. Forme also provides a CPU rasterization path that produces standard MonoGame SpriteFont objects for cases where traditional bitmap fonts are preferred.
For detailed README, refer to the original repository.
- .NET Framework 4.8
- MonoGame 3.8.0.1641
If you are working on content pipeline extensions, test with real content and document any new processor parameters.
If you are modifying the shader, recompile the .mgfxo files using src/Forme.MonoGame/compile-shaders.sh and commit the updated binaries alongside your changes. DirectX 11 shader compilation requires Windows.
Install via NuGet.
dotnet add package CnCNet.Forme.NET48
dotnet add package CnCNet.Forme.MonoGame.NET48To use the content pipeline extension with MonoGame, add the reference the following NuGet package in your project and add the dll reference to your Content.mgcb file as usual.
dotnet add package CnCNet.Forme.MonoGame.Content.Pipeline.NET48Retargets all projects from net8.0 to net48 and downgrades MonoGame from 3.8.4.1 to 3.8.0.1641. Recompiles the shaders. Adds Polyfill 10.0.0 + System.Memory 4.6.3 to preserve full C# 14 feature usage (ReadOnlySpan, init, collection expressions, ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull, etc.) on .NET Framework 4.8.
