Creates a new [[[TTFont]]] object.

Starting from gideros 2017.9, 'text' optional parameter can be the empty string, in which case Gideros will automatically cache characters as they are used. Also, 2017.9 allows filename to be a table of several file names and associated size factor. Two forms are accepted: {"font1.ttf","font2.ttf",..} or {{file="font1.ttf", sizeMult=1},{file="font2.ttf", sizeMult=1.1},...}. Characters will be looked up in each file in sequence until a glyph is found.

 TTFont.new(filename,size,text,filtering,outlineSize)

Parameters

filename: (string) The name of the TTF file to be loaded
size: (number) size of the font
text: (string, optional) if specified, TTFont caches the characters of specified text to speed up the rendering
