- 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.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
[#20854] PROPERTIES STAMP: Rendering stamp flickers in output renders
Blenfont was not thread safe, that is why one thread can change
the font properties (size, dpi, color, etc) at the same time
that the stamp draw on the image, and then the problem.
To make blenfont thread safe I have to change two important things:
1) Every BLF_* function take one argument, the font id.
2) We have two new function to make font "thread safe":
BLF_load_unique
BLF_load_mem_unique
This two function are for case like stamp, that need and own font
that don't share the glyph cache, so can draw without problem
in a different thread.
Why the BLF_*_unique function ?
Because blenfont keep only one copy of a font and keep a list of
"glyph cache". Every glyph cache have size and dpi, so if two
different thread access the same font at the same time, they can
change value and finish with something like the stamp problem.
Why don't remove the glyph cache ?
Because if we do that, we finish with a font object for every size
and dpi, and the stamp is really a special case that happen in
the rendering process, so I really thing is better keep the
glyph cache and make this two new function to handle this
special case.
(When I say "font object" I mean have the same freetype font multiple
times just to have differents size and dpi)
As Matt point we still can have one case that two thread access
the BLF_*_unique function at the same time, but I am looking to
fix this with some class of thread lock.
For now I test and work fine, so if some one found problem, please
let me know.
Campbell I have to change the python api (python/generic/blf_api.c)
to the new syntax, so maybe you can take a look at this.
Font kerning needs to be set in order to get accurate results out of BLF_width().
Would be nice if this was more automatic, I've added it to a few other places that
seem like they need this though it's a little unclear due to the globals etc. Also
some other minor tweaks when editing text fields.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

This patch was one of the patches submitted by Wolfgang W. (bender) (the others have already been committed). In the patch, there was commented out code for counter-clockwise rotation of the text, but I've removed that.
--
In this commit, I've also removed all of the panel tabbing code instead of merely commenting it out.
As Joe point on a previous mail, glBitmap don't work nice
on all cards and also some of the things that we can do
with texture are hard (or need that blender check the font mode)
to implement.
-Removed shadows from most UI items. The shadow settings are unfortunately not really useful, because you can't set them for individual items. There was a lot of black text with black shadows, which really only makes the text look fuzzy. For shadows to improve clarity, they should be the opposite color of the text label, not the same color.
-Tweaked material layout, with clearer grouping in Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency panels.
-Added icons in the texture type menu to signify which textures are procedural and which ones are images, and plugins.
The option of Texture or Bitmap font is working again, yes it's really
uuuuugly right now, but it work.
On the next commit I go to put this at the same level that texture font.
Change this from User Preferences -> Language -> Textued Fonts, save
the preferences and run blender again.
* Fix issue where it would automatically scroll when collapsing panels.
* Fix panel dragging not taking zoom level into account.
* Fix enum menu having too small default width in headers.
* Fix tooltips not showing shortcuts etc. if there was not tooltip
defined for the button.
* Fix some refresh issues with color ramps.
* Add a bit more space between columns in the layout engine.
* Make scrollers darker so they are less distracting, and highlight
instead of reverse shading when dragging.
* List template visual changes. Items now look different,
and it expands to size 5 as more items are added.
* Added LISTROW and LISTBOX elements. The former is like
a typical ROW button, but looks diffrent. The latter
looks like a BOUNDBOX, and has no extra features yet.
* Fix some glColor3ubv warnings with casting, did not find
a nicer way.
* Wave modifier speed 0.5 -> 0.25.
* Particles even and random distribution on.
* Particles normal velocity 0.0 -> 1.0.
* Particles size 1.0 -> 0.05.
* Particles draw emitter and material color on.
* Field strength 0.0 -> 1.0
* Object drawing without material was not consistent
with default material.
* Panel title 13 -> 12 points.
This are freetype2 options:
Unfitted - Scaled but un-grid-fitted kerning distances
Default - Scaled and grid-fitted kerning distances
We always use Unfitted, but the "Default" style give better result here,
so please test and if nobody complain we can set this style as the default.
Matt, I found the problem in one of my previous commit, so I revert
all my changes and now the font look good again.
Also remove all the options (kerning, overlap and user kerning), I want
to make this a little better.
If this option is enable, the blenfont check for overlap characters, like
one of my previous commit but now it's optional and disable by default.
(This fix the "Fi" or other case when the characters are too close)
Enable/disable from:
Outliner -> User Preferences -> Styles -> Panel Font -> Overlap
(also for other styles, Group Label, Widget, Widget Label)
Two new function:
BLF_shadow: set the level (for blur) and the shadow color.
BLF_shadow_offset: set the x and y offset for shadow.
(this is the current position plus offset)
By default shadow is not enable in the font, so before draw the
text you need call BLF_enable(BLF_SHADOW), also remember disable
the option in the end.
