[ros-diffs] [jimtabor] 22523: GetGlyphOutline, large wine port. Still testing.
by James Tabor 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi, I have it half way done. Run the test program and you can see. Program works in W2k, XP and Wine. mingw32-gcc -mwindows -Os GetGlyphOutline.c -o ggo.exe I stopped messing with it two weeks ago, I needed to work on something else. When testing you can select the alphanumeric character with the keyboard. The original program had "a" but I changed it to "L" something simple to draw at first. You will see the problem. The test program from Dr. Dobb's Journal http://www.ddj.com/184409154?pgno=12 Thanks, James Runs and hides~

This byte code is the hinting that Ged suggests embedding in our Marlett font. Of course freetype still hints, but it ignores the bytecode and works around it. Hence embedding hints in the TTF would be rather useless. Ask wierd_w, he's been having a lot of trouble with hinting and freetype. The only solution we could come up with is adding a hack for greyscale bitmap fonts that substitute the outlines for certain font sizes. mf

Marlett font
by Murphy, Ged (Bolton) 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

I have a patch to move all the functionality of DrawFrameControl over to the Marlett font, but before I add it I think the font needs a bit more work. We have the outlines for all the glyphs in trunk under media/fonts/marlett.ttf, but they need some TLC. One thing which stands out are the caption buttons. Drawn at 10pt, which is what is used for regular caption bars, they don't appear as clearly as they should. Another area that will need attention is adding hints to all the glyphs and making it a TTF. I have no experience with fonts, hence me writing this mail to ask if any font designers are willing to help make our Marlett font complete. Cheers, Ged.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-bugs] Indonesian resource language for ReactOS

You should try to keep the file naming convention the same throughout. The reason we have both en.rc and en-US.rc is historical, but incorrect now. We should be using en-US.rc for US files as US English uses different spellings than other countries. This gives us scope for other variations like en-GB and en-CA. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the Indonesian language, but it's best to stick with id-ID in case there are other variations on the Indonesian language (and to follow suit with the format the rest of our resource files need to move to) Ged.
