This patch allows Blender to display i18n monospace font in the text
editor and the Python interactive console. Wide characters that occupy
multiple columns such as CJK characters can be displayed correctly.
Furthermore, wrapping, selection, suggestion, cursor drawing, and
syntax highlighting should work.
Also fixes a bug [#34543]: In Text Editor false color in comment on cyrillic
To estimate how many columns each character occupies, this patch uses
wcwidth.c written by Markus Kuhn and distributed under MIT-style license:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
wcwidth.c is stored in extern/wcwidth and used as a static library.
This patch adds new API to blenfont, blenlib and blenkernel:
BLF_get_unifont_mono()
BLF_free_unifont_mono()
BLF_draw_mono()
BLI_wcwidth()
BLI_wcswidth()
BLI_str_utf8_char_width()
BLI_str_utf8_char_width_safe()
txt_utf8_offset_to_column()
txt_utf8_column_to_offset()
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
- Static variables can be initialized with constants only.
- Removed bunifont.ttf.c from datafiles -- it's not actually a
data file. Unicode font loading stuff is not in blenkernel/font.c
- Allocate as much memory for unzipped data as it's needed.
Default read chunk is 512Kb.
- Fixed regression (or just a typo) in setting utf locale.
- Default locale set to en_US:en works fine now.
- Commented put Nepali language in user preferences -- it's
not supported by current droid font and imo it's better to
have nice font for languages we actually have translation for
rather than allowing to choose more languages in user preferences.
Usage currently is limited to:
- Panel text, widget text and label text style:
point size, shadow effects
Setting individual fonts to these is not possible yet, it uses the
default for it.
Access goes via outliner now; check "User Preferences". UI team could
add this in userpref scripts :)
Copy unifont..ttf.gz from source tree to target datafile path( now ONLY works with cmake );
Set the locale the same with system's setting;
If need unicode font, unzip and load unifont when init ui styles;
Apply gettext() to labels in space_info.py, who are the main menu items.
Each of these should have been commit one by one. As they work well according to my tests, so I just lazily send a long list.
Automatically assign menu keys based on name, alternative to pressing number 0-9 on menus items.
keys are assigned by first giving each menu item the first character of any word, if that fails any key in the name is used.
- active key is shown underlined.
- only ascii keys are assigned currently.
- can run operators, open menu items.
- currently this only works in cases where number buttons were used (UI_BLOCK_NUMSELECT), but could be enabled for file menu, splash etc by removing this check.
This is need to properly handle 3d text (dalai work on GE), before
the BLF_aspect only take one argument, and the result was a call to:
glScalef(aspect, aspect, 1.0)
Now the three value are store in the font (x, y and z) and also
need to be enable using BLF_enable(BLF_ASPECT).
By default all the code that don't have BLF_ASPECT enable work with
a scale of 1.0 (so nothing change to the current UI).
I also remove all the call of BLF_aspect(fontid, 1.0) found in
the editors, because is disable by default, so no need any more.
Campbell the only thing to check is the python api, right now
I modify the api to from:
BLF_aspect(fontid, aspect)
to:
BLF_aspect(fontid, aspect, aspect, 1.0)
This is to avoid break the api, but now you need add the BLF_ASPECT
option to the function py_blf_enable and in some point change
py_blf_aspect to take 3 arguments.
