I wrote C++ class package for rendering text on OpenGL display but have a few questions for you. I searched for charmap table but can't find any information about Unicode table that points to glyph index. Does anyone know any structure contains Unicode table that points to glyph data? Or have I poll glyph data each Unicode value (32-bit) through FT_Load_Glyph function call?
Also I am looking for emoji fonts. I googled them but can't find any good sources so far. Does anyone have good emoji font TrueType or OpenType files? How do I load color bitmap as glyph?
Does anyone have good tutorial or books show how to render text with using OpenGL? I found some but they only teach rendering ASCII codes. I want to learn how to render unicode and emoji text messages.
