This tutorial looks at how you use text in LibGDX. We discuss the difference between TTF and Bitmap fonts, look at creating a font using the Heiro font tool, then look at the code needed to load and display the text in LibGDX. This includes more advanced concepts like text justification, measuring and placement.
