ofxFontStash: Dynamic font glyph cache for OpenGL

Quick and simple Addon wrapping Font-Stash.

"Font Stash enables easy string rendering in OpenGL applications. It supports truetype fonts and UTF-8 encoded localized strings. All glyphs are cached in OpenGL texture atlases. Font rasterization is done using Sean Barrett’s stb_truetype.h."

I made tiny modifications to FontStash to render text flipped vertically, to play nicer in the OpenFrameworks universe in general. It will also report every time a new texture is created.

ofxFontStash supports basic one-line text drawing, lineHeight, multiline text rendering based on '\n', and also word wraping to draw a paragraph constrained to a certain width. It also offers bbox calculations on all the drawing options. It requires ofxUnicode.

ofxFontStash is quite fast at drawing text. If you need to draw a left-aligned text column of a certain width, ofxFontStash can be ~10x faster than ofxFTGL.
