ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryTTF(data, data_size, size_pixels, ...);
```
IMPORTANT: `AddFontFromMemoryTTF()` by default transfer ownership of the data buffer to the font atlas, which will attempt to free it on destruction.
This was to avoid an unnecessary copy, and is perhaps not a good API (a future version will redesign it).
If you want to keep ownership of the data and free it yourself, you need to clear the `FontDataOwnedByAtlas` field:
```cpp
ImFontConfig font_cfg;
font_cfg.FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false;
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryTTF(data, data_size, size_pixels, &font_cfg);
```

## Loading Font Data Embedded In Source Code
- Compile and use [binary_to_compressed_c.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/misc/fonts/binary_to_compressed_c.cpp) to create a compressed C style array that you can embed in source code.
- See the documentation in [binary_to_compressed_c.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/misc/fonts/binary_to_compressed_c.cpp) for instructions on how to use the tool.
- You may find a precompiled version binary_to_compressed_c.exe for Windows inside the demo binaries package (see [README](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/README.md)).
- The tool can optionally output Base85 encoding to reduce the size of _source code_ but the read-only arrays in the actual binary will be about 20% bigger.
Then load the font with:
```cpp
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedTTF(compressed_data, compressed_data_size, size_pixels, ...);
```
or
```cpp
ImFont* font = io.Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedBase85TTF(compressed_data_base85, size_pixels, ...);

## Using Icon Fonts
Using an icon font (such as [FontAwesome](http://fontawesome.io) or [OpenFontIcons](https://github.com/traverseda/OpenFontIcons)) is an easy and practical way to use icons in your Dear ImGui application.

## Using FreeType Rasterizer (imgui_freetype)
- Dear ImGui uses imstb\_truetype.h to rasterize fonts (with optional oversampling). This technique and its implementation are not ideal for fonts rendered at small sizes, which may appear a little blurry or hard to read.

## Using Custom Colorful Icons
As an alternative to rendering colorful glyphs using imgui_freetype with `ImGuiFreeTypeBuilderFlags_LoadColor`, you may allocate your own space in the texture atlas and write yourself into it. **(This is a BETA api, use if you are familiar with dear imgui and with your rendering backend)**
