Little background.. I'm in the process of making an OpenGL game using Java and LWJGL. I've written a TextRenderer-class that renders text using cached pages of glyphs. The glyphs itself are rendered in Java2D to BufferedImages and packed into texture pages along with the glyph measurements. TextRenderer draws the characters as textured ...
I installed the latest release of MinGW/MSYS, and I like to use rxvt terminal over the boring windows command prompt. But this new build spaces the letters too much: most fonts I have tried are messed up - even Courier New (ttf), Consolas (ttf), or PC6X13 (fon). I'm stuck with plain OLD Courier because at least it's readable. Any solut...
At work, I have been tasked with improving the text rendering of our application to better support text character kerning. Our application generates images that appear on Television, so image quality is paramount. Therefore, even small improvements to the appearance of any output we generate is very useful. Our current text engine is im...
After asking my previous question about Uniscribe glyph kerning, and not yet receiving an answer, plus further reading on google etc, it seems Uniscribe may not support extracting glyph kerning information from a font. I therefore have a simple followup question - are there any good examples (preferably with some C++ code) of extracting...
Is there a way to adjust the spacing between characters in an Android TextView? I believe this is typically called "kerning". I'm aware of the android:textScaleX attribute, but that compresses the characters along with the spacing. ...
Does anyone know how to change the kerning (space between characters) in vb.net? For example, i would like to change "STRING" to "S T R I N G". If possible i would like to be able to create my own font where i can specify the kerning as i wish! Thanks in advance! ...
I'm rendering text onto an image using the System.Drawing.Graphics class, and the DrawString() method. I need to generate the text for this image in a very specific way so that it exactly - pixel for pixel - matches an existing image. The problem is that the text generated by DrawString() has a different kerning to the text in the exis...
I've searched on the Internet but can't find definite details. Is there anyway to specify leading and keening for uilabels, textfields or textviews? I could create custom fonts for each leading and keening pairing but this seems a bit overkill... Any ideas would be appreciated ...
I'm curious about what technique fast applications (maybe Safari is a better example here) do to calculate the height of a terribly long page of text (for example, a chat log or a huge document). Considering there is a huge amount of text with the same line height, this is already something that can be multiplied by the number of those ...
