This patch should make gettext return unicode, which is what freetype
expects (also explicitly set in the same file). It makes translations
that support non-ascii *and* non-unicode encodings, such as latin 1 for
western european languages, draw correctly. The problem only occurs for
platforms where those encodings are default, i.e. in Linux if
/etc/locale.gen looks like this:
sv_SE ISO-8859-15
If it were to read UTF-8 this patch doesn't change the behaviour at all.
This is probably the case for Mac OS X and perhaps Windows.
while its setup to look in $(NAN_FTGL)/include
I added $(NAN_FTGL)/include/FTGL
I've had the mod lying around forever and just never bothered to commit
it but I'm sick of looking at the modified file in cvs update ;)

compiled in (datatoc) and doesn't need installation anymore.
Also reviewed weird path conventions for searching AA fonts;
- U.fontdir is only used as standard search path for fileselecting
- U.fontname stores only full path to AA font if used one
- If a font cannot be found, it always falls back to the compiled in one
- If .B.blend is saved with default font, U.fontname is not set
Also added a button in usermenu "restore default".
When this works as expected, I'll commit changes for installation too.
----- Killed UI frontbuffer draw
The interface toolkit was drawing all live updates (while using menus/buttons)
in the frontbuffer. This isn't well supported cross-platform, so time to be
killed once. Now it uses *only* glReadPixels and glCopyPixels for frontbuffer
access.
Live updates or menus now are drawn in backbuffer always, and copied to
front when needed.
NOTE: it was tested, but needs thorough review! On PC systems I suspects
backbuffer selection to screw up (check!). On SGI/SUN workstations it
should work smooth; but I need evidence
----- Smaller fixes;
- AA fonts were garbled on ATI systems. Now the AA fonts are drawn exact
on pixel positions. Needs the new FTGL libb too, patch is on maillist
- Rounded theme uses antialiased outlines
- Pulldown and popup menus have nice softshadow now
- New button type 'PULLDOWN', thats the one that callsup a pulldown menu.
Should be added to themes, as is the full menu/pulldown drawing
- Screendump for 1 window does the full window now, including header
- Empty pulldowns (for example running blender without scripts) give no
drawing error anymore
For review & fun;
- added curved lines as connectors, for Oops window
Sconstruct modified so that Blender build on 10.3 without any additionnal
download than source + darwin libs.
defaults settings correct for 10.3.
fixed bug # 1260 : added MT_NDEBUG flag at top-level.
Now uses 'Application Data/Blender Foundation/Blender' instead of old
"Not A Number" dir.
- Updated windows installer to make this change transparent for the
users. It copies /.blender to the new location and displays a short
message to advise them of the change
(http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~aphex/installer_msg.jpg).
- Installer also includes fix for opening blend files from explorer (patch provided by Valentin Ungureanu (vung) - thanks!)
Note to CVS users on Win2k/XP: Although blender will continue to work
without changes, you should ideally copy the /.blender dir to
<app data>/Blender Foundation/Blender for the sake of correctness :)
* Blender static now links. By default this option is disabled on all
platforms. Simply set the option in config.opts to 'true'.
* Added the following flags to config.opts:
- HOST_CC. This is the C compiler for the host platform. This value is the
same as TARGET_CC when not cross compiling.
- HOST_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the host platform. This value is
the same as TARGET_CXX when not cross compiling.
- TARGET_CC. This is the C compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_AR. This is the linker command for linking libraries.
- PATH This is the standard search path
All SConscript files have been updated to reflect these changes. Now it's
possible to change only the root SConstruct file, and all compiler specific
variables are passed automatically to all SConscript files. Of course, this
does not apply to makesdna because there the host and target platform is
different from all other libraries.
To pass a variable that applies to all platforms, all we now have to do is
set the correct value in library_env
Note: as usual, to get the latest options in the config.opts file, first
remove your version.
* Removed the I18N_DEFINES from the config.opts file. This define is not a
user setting. The defines depend on what options the user enables in the top
of the config.opts file (USE_INTERNATIONAL).
* Moved the defines to the correct SConscript files.
Only the relevant libraries now use these defines.
* Windows fix for the python settings. There were missing brackets [ and ] for
these settings.
* Almost all library settings are now available in the config.opts user option
file.
* All platform variables had to be updated to make this possible. Things are
much clearer now, but I only was able to test the changes on Linux. I've
tried to update all other platform variables, but things are most likely to
be broken. Please contact me how to resolve the issues.
Note: Before running scons, remove your existing config.opts file to get all
new options.
* libraries are now generated in [BUILD_DIR]/lib
* passed the user_options to all libraries now.
This means I could remove a couple of Export/Import lines.
* Changed the order in source/blender/src/SConscript and
source/gameengine/SConscript.
All libraries are now sorted alphabetically. This has no impact on the build
process.
possible bad free
- FTF_Api.cpp used static C++ object, hard to understand and icky,
was probably source of phase4's crashes, replaced with dynamically
allocated object and added FTF_End to free it and sensible time.
* Removed debug print in ftfont.
* Added FreeType/FTGL support to the Linux build.
NOTE: This feature is on by default, but depends on the pre-build libraries.
So checkout the lib directory. The lib dir should be on the same level as
the blender dir. (In case you didn't know).
- changed the BIF_DrawString() function. it used to work different for
AA fonts as for default fonts. Now it's identical. Setting color for fonts
can just be done with OpenGL, for both font types.
Removed: BIF_DrawStringRGB()
- added theme color options for Buttons
- recoded DefButton, so it automatically chooses the right color.
- had to remove a 1000 uiBlockSetCol() calls for that reason...
- uiBlockSetCol() still works, to override automatic color
- removed entirely the silly old color system (BIFColorID). All color
calls can now be done with a BIF_ThemeColor() call, including fonts and
buttons and opengl stuff
- all buttons in button header have headercolor by default
- recoded drawing icons, it was a really bad & old loop doing manually
colorshading and blending... which was per pixel a load of code!
Now it uses a single OpenGL call to blend or colorize. Quite faster!
- (as test, for review) icons don't colorize anymore with button color,
but have a different alpha to blend in (when not active)
- recoded the entire interface_draw.c file...:
- drawing buttons is separated in three parts:
1. main drawing function for text and icons
2. free definable callback for button itself
3. free definable callback for slider
- removed a load of redundant code for this!
- coded a minimal theme, and adjusted Matt's buttons to match new
callback system
- adding new drawing themes is piece of cake now
- for coders, default 'themes' to be aware of:
UI_EMBOSS : the themable drawing style
UI_EMBOSSP: the pulldown menu system (apart from color not themable)
UI_EMBOSSN: draw nothing, only text and/or icon
UI_EMBOSSM: minimal theme, still in use for Logic and Constraintsa
this can be set with uiBlockSetEmboss(block) or in the uiNewBlock() call.
TODO: make UI API call for button alignment
(plus removed another series of warnings from code...)
Plus: fixed bug in Matts commit: he used a 'short' button for an 'int'
approach for the coloring of interface texts. Currently two seperate fonts get
generated, one black and one white, which eliminates the glPixelTransfer
command. (which assumably caused the huge slowdowns)
Please try, and post your experiences on the interface drawing speed.
NOTE: for this new method you need the *unmodified* FTGL library:

Apologies on any inconveniences...
X. Opening a file selector is no longer needed in order to switch the
language for the first time; apparently gettext wasn't too happy about
relative paths.
All modifications are behind compileflag INTERNATIONAL,
and affect these two directories; source/blender/src and
source/blender/ftfont.
Thanks to philipp, a new utf8towchar() function is added
to Shizu's work, which fixes the international support for
OSX. It also makes the iconv library obsolete. This means
all translation files (blender.mo) need to be 'recoded' to
UTF-8, and language support in the fileselect window and
the text editor is not possible. Iconv might be added in
the future to enable these features.
