High Level Overview
The font loading mechanism loads all fonts at engine startup. It leverages java.awt.Font to read font data from ttf files on disk, render them to a bitmap, and then display appropriately. Globals has a font manager that can be leveraged to get fonts based on identification strings.
Major Usage Notes
Main Classes
[Font.java](@ref #electrosphere.renderer.ui.font.Font) - Holds all the data about a font: the glyphs and metadata about them, as well as the material containing the actual bitmap
[FontManager.java](@ref #electrosphere.renderer.ui.font.FontManager) - Keeps track of all fonts loaded into the engine.
[FontUtils.java](@ref #electrosphere.renderer.ui.font.FontUtils) - Utilities to load fonts from disk
[BitmapCharacter.java](@ref #electrosphere.renderer.ui.font.bitmapchar.BitmapCharacter) - The main rendering component for text. Renders a single character of text based on a given font, font size, and character.

Future Goals
- Scan assets/fonts and load all fonts automatically
- Ability to specify font for a given label (currently it's always hard-set to "default")
