This updates fonts so rather than rastering directly to a bitmap, you
can extract paths for glyphs. This is then used to implement a
Gfx::Path::text("some text", font) API, that if given a vector font
appends the path of the text to your Gfx::Path. This then allows
arbitrary manipulation of the text (rotation, skewing, etc), paving the
way for Word Art in Serenity.
This patch does three things:
- Font::has_color_bitmaps() (true if CBLC and CBDT are present)
- Glyph now knows when its bitmap comes from a color bitmap font
- Painter draws color bitmap glyphs with the appropriate scaling etc
This returns the font's size (distance between ascender and descender)
in pixels, rounded up to the nearest integer.
This is the number we want to use in a lot of UI code, so let's have
a friendly API for it instead of ceil'ing the pixel_size() in a million
random places.
This adds the option to pass a subpixel offset when fetching a glyph
from a font, this offset is currently snapped to thirds of a pixel
(i.e. 0, 0.33, 0.66). This is then used when rasterizing the glyph,
which is then cached like usual.
Note that when using subpixel offsets you're trading a bit of space
for accuracy. With the current third of a pixel offsets you can end
up with up to 9 bitmaps per glyph.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
