If you don't want to use Intrafont, McZonk's old sample should still be in samples,
or use Freetype.

pgeFont is also a nice one for ttf fonts.

There's an app to change ttf to pgf, then use the converted font with intraFont.

I like FreeType but I can't install it. I did exactly what is here but after executing

Code:
LDFLAGS="-L$(psp-config --pspsdk-path)/lib -lc -lpspuser" \
./configure --host psp --prefix=$(psp-config --psp-prefix)


I got

Code:
cd builds/unix; ./configure --host psp --prefix=/usr/local/pspdev/psp
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
checking build system type... /bin/sh: ./config.guess: No such file or directory

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
make: *** [builds/unix/unix-def.mk] Error 1


I don't get it. :( I really want to use this. Could anybody help me with that, please?

Thanks.

Use the psplibraries installer from the repo. That will install most of the major libraries needed for PSP apps, including SDL and freetype.

If you followed one of the guides for installing the PSP toolchain, it should have instructed you on doing that immediately after the toolchain installer was done.

Hey,
I used PSPLibraries and exactly the same error in auto-executing that same script.. There probably is some error in my Cygwin, not in installation.. But where? I did nothing with that (not including installing libraries).. :(

Thanks.

If you're in Windows, don't bother with cygwin, just get Heimdall's prebuilt packages. There's a thread on that in this forum.

I had this problem too.

I found out is was caused by libtool.

this was my solution

After i run the ./configure script from freetype i replaced the libtool with the libtool provided by the SDL librarie.

When i now run make it compiles.

If i want to do "make install" i had to tweak the script 003-freetype.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# freetype.sh by Dan Peori (danpeori@oopo.net)

 ## Download the latest source code.

##Removed

 ## Enter the source directory.
 cd freetype || { exit 1; }

 ## Configure the build.

## removed autogen.sh

## removed confidure script

 ## Compile and install.
 make clean && make -j2 && make install && make clean || { exit 1; }
[/code]
