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)
note: BPY_class_validate() could come in handy later if we need to check classes for properties/functions but for now there is no point in keeping it in.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- made theme colors for mesh edge len & face angle/area display.
- use %g rather then %f for float display, trims unneeded zeros.
- store cached 2d and 3d text color as bytes rather then floats, compare when drawing to avoid setting the context.
- use unsigned char for more color functions, avoids casting to glColorubv().
- remove report argument from console functions.
- don't update the scroll area while drawing, do this within operators instead.
- dont redraw while selecting text unless selection changes.
Ton will work on moving the File menu out of the Info space before release.
notes.
- reply Operator isn't working anymore.
- UI for reports is commented out so its not mixed with the file menu.
[#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.
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
- console selection working
- copy selection to clipboard
- paste selection from clipboard works with multiline paste
word-wrap is still not working with selection drawing.
this is too arbitrary and could break if roperty order is changed.
store the property in the operator type that is to be used for menu and enum search func's.
python function for searching operator enums on invoke. (just need dynamic python enums now)
wm.invoke_search_popup(self)
* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
