@ocornut:
Hi, as far as I can see there's a new version of stb_truetype.h with:
1.13 (2017-01-02) support OpenType fonts, certain Apple fonts, num-fonts-in-TTC function

Is there some specific reason not to update to the new version (does Dear ImGui use a custom version) ?

It's not custom anymore, it could be updated.

Good to know.

If I need to use .otf fonts, I'll do it.

I tried to load .otf files, using latest ImGui, but it generates huge atlas (1024x32768) which obviously is insane :)
The font I'm using is a small one : http://dl.1001fonts.com/glacial-indifference.zip
Am I missing some specific config for OTF support in ImGui ?

I have just updated stb_truetype but not tried the OTF support. Maybe it has issues or limitations. I would suggest trying different fonts and maybe checking the stb github for issues?

You're right, I checked the issues on STB github, and the OTF support is mostly working but not with all fonts.
I tried with 2 other OTF fonts and they were loaded with decent dimensions.
So, be careful with otf support for the moment, it's not perfect.
