Does AppGameKit have support for using TTF fonts? I've checked the command list and cannot see anything. I'm only needing about 16 characters so may just use images if needed but was hoping that loading and using ttf's was possible.

Thanks

This is a bad move as it will take much of device's memory.
Better to use an atlas texture with fixed positions.

Sadly, somebody has deleted the download... But I can still upload it, since I have it on my drive. Link:

There are two .exes. Crystal Editor is newer version I think.
