lazy-fonts

lazy-fonts lets Pebble app components load fonts without having to worry about unloading or coordinating use with other components. Fonts are loaded once and only once so the same font is shared among components automatically.

Installation

pebble package install lazy-fonts

You must be using a new-style project; install the latest pebble tool and SDK and run pebble convert-project on your app if you aren't.

Usage

// This is not a complete example, but should demonstrate the basic usage of
// the Linked List library.

#include <lazy-fonts/lazy-fonts.h>

static void window_load(Window *window) {
    TextLayer *text_layer = text_layer_create(GRectZero);
    text_layer_set_font(text_layer, lazy_fonts_get(RESOURCE_ID_MY_COOL_FONT_42);
}

static void init(void) {
  lazy_fonts_init();
  ...
}

static void deinit(void) {
  lazy_fonts_deinit();
  ...
}

You must call lazy_fonts_init() first, preferably in your app's init function. Before you app quits, you must call lazy_fonts_deinit() to unload any loaded fonts and free memory.

lazy_fonts_get(resource_id) returns a GFont. The GFont will be loaded if it is not already, otherwise the already loaded GFont will be returned.
