- Short: Shared library to modify looks of fonts at run-time
- Author: Joerg van de Loo
- Uploader: Joergloo@aol.com
- Version: 1.0 -alpha-
- Type: dev/misc
-
-
- Allows an application in a simple manner to print out better looking texts -
- similiar to "anti-alias" font-rendering functions.
-
- - comes with full source codes (written in standard C)
- - example program is a CLI-only tool (colour computed only if OS 3 or better)
- - library requires OS 1.2 or higher but only tested under OS 3 so far
-
-
- This is an alpha-release (catharsis-library exists currently only since three
- days) and an experiment.
- If you find it useful please report. If you find it unuseful, report this too
- but state clearly why.
- If you can do further developing/enhancing, please report.
-
- This shared library is public domain, thus everybody is able to use/improve it.
-
- At the moment the font analysing/rendering is not optimsed and thus slow, but
- since it will be only invoked upon creating the new font-counterpart, this
- doesn't matter.
- The display rendering, however, is half as fast as standard text-rendering
- since each character has to be rendered two times into the display.
-
- Since I'm in a great hurry, this archive is in a bad condition and has got
- very less information for you. But looking at the sources should make all
- clear.
-
- The include-files were created using Dirk Stoeckers FD2Pragma program - I
- don't know if there are currently any bugs since I only used the MaxonC++
- compiler to produce the shared library and the lonely example - and they work!
-
- The example program requires two parameters to work fully:
- 1st, the name of the font you want to use, e.g. times.font
- 2nd, the height of the font, e.g. 15
- complete:
- 1> example times.font 15
-
- After the window has been opened and after the font-counterpart has been
- created you should activate the window; after some seconds the text in the
- window will change; first text-line is rendered using the standard font,
- second text-line using applied catharsis font-counterpart. Some seconds later
- the text will change again - and so on.
