title: Render text in purely native Android app
body: <p>I have a purely native Android NDK app, and need to render some text at every frame. I have read posts saying that I need to create a single image file with all the characters of my font, and then render each character as a quad from this image. This sounds like a lot of work and I don't know where to obtain such an image file for a simple font, like Arial. Is there an alternative, easier approach to drawing text in a purely native Android app?  </p>
  
  <p>Or, where can I retrieve such an image file to make my own font renderer?</p>
