Is it possible to add a font to the atlas after font_atlas_end?

[ronaaron]

I'm looking to add a font in user code, after the font atlas has been created and baked.

Is there a way to accomplish that?

[ronaaron]

Anyone?

Not sure I understand it correctly, but what prohibits you to create a new font atlas and bake it at any time?

[ronaaron]

I guess that's not a problem, but using the GL backends, won't the new atlas when uploaded overwrite the existing one? I haven't tried it, so I've no clue, to be honest.

[dumblob]

That might be the case, but even then I fail to see the problem with that (I'm not an expert on that though 😉). Why couldn't you just bake more fonts into one atlas?

[ronaaron]

When I tried that I don't get anything valid, because the atlas is 'closed' by the end of the baking process. At least, I don't succeed.

There were some people trying to use more fonts with Nuklear and IIRC they succeeded 😉 - anything in the old issue tracker?

I haven't seen anything but maybe I'm not looking in the right way. I'll experiment a bit and see what I can manage.
