SYNOPSIS:

// ex.) testApp.h

#include "ofxTrueTypeFontUC.h"

class testApp : public ofBaseApp {
    ...
    ofxTrueTypeFontUC myFont;
}

// ex.) testApp.cpp

void testApp::setup() {
    ...
    myFont.loadFont("barfooFont.oft", 64, true, true);
}

void testApp::draw() {
    ...
    std::wstring wide_str = L"こんにちは";
    myFont.drawString(wide_str, 100, 100);  // std::wstring is available.

    std::string str = "はじめまして";
    myFont.drawString(str, 100, 200);  // std::string is available.
}

// Note: The functions that take std::string execute conversion to std::wstring each time they are called. Use the following function, if necessary.

// ex.) testApp.cpp

void testApp::setup() {
    ...
    std::string src_string = "お久しぶりです";
    std::wstring dst_string = util::ofxTrueTypeFontUC::convToWString(src_string);  // conversion to std::wstring
}
