First, we’ll add some TrueType font display code using the SDL_TTF library. Second, we’ll talk about packaging up your PDK app for installing on the device and submitting it to the Palm webOS App Catalog.

The main system font on webOS is called Prelude and we include these fonts: Prelude-Bold.ttf Prelude-BoldOblique.ttf Prelude-Medium.ttf Prelude-MediumOblique.ttf PreludeCondensed-Bold.ttf PreludeCondensed-Medium.ttf The Oblique forms are what you get when you italicize text. The Condensed version is an alternate form that has thinner letters.
