This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
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 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 :^)
