ttf examples on 64-bit systems?

[N3trunn3r]

Are there any new true type font examples for writing whole words/strings?
FreeType2 or Cairo, either would work for me.

In the past I used "FreeType2 library test, by jofers" but this one seems to be broken now. Fonts don't draw properly and I even get malloc errors.

examples/graphics/FreeType/drawstr.bas doesn't work either (black screen).

I'm on Linux 64-bit (Debian 10), FreeBASIC-1.07.1.

Here's one example that uses both Cairo and FreeType to load and render fonts:

Code: Select all

#include once "inc/cairo/cairo.bi"
#include once "inc/freetype2/freetype.bi"

'' The FB headers don't contain this prototype
extern "C"
  declare function _
    cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face ( as FT_Face, as long ) as cairo_font_face_t ptr
end extern

'' Convenience
type FreeType
  public:
    declare constructor()
    declare destructor()
    
    declare operator _
      cast() as FT_Library
    
  private:
    as FT_Library _
      _library
end type

constructor FreeType()
  FT_Init_FreeType( @_library )
end constructor

destructor FreeType()
  FT_Done_FreeType( _library )
end destructor

operator FreeType.cast() as FT_Library
  return( _library )
end operator

dim as integer _
  aWidth => 800, _
  aHeight => 600

'' Set a screen mode
screenRes( aWidth, aHeight, 32 )

'' Create a surface (in this case, we'll use the screen buffer)
var surface => _
  cairo_image_surface_create_for_data( _
    screenPtr(), _
    CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, _
    aWidth, aHeight, _
    aWidth * sizeOf( ulong ) )

'' Create a Cairo context
var context => cairo_create( surface )

'' Load FreeType to use as a font backend
var ft => FreeType()

'' Load a font with FreeType
dim as FT_Face _
  ftface

/'
  BE WELL AWARE:
  
  Only OpenType fonts are correctly handled. This seems to be a bug in
  Cairo. If you pass Cairo a FreeType face created from a TrueType font
  ** THE PROGRAM WILL CRASH **.
'/
FT_New_Face( ft, "BebasKai.otf", 0, @ftface )

'' And pass it to Cairo to create a Cairo font face
var _
  cface => cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face( ftface, 0 )

cairo_set_font_face( context, cface )
cairo_set_font_size( context, 160 )

dim as string _
  text => "Hello world!"

'' Get the text extents and center it
dim as cairo_text_extents_t extents
cairo_text_extents( context, text, @extents )

dim as single _
  x => ( aWidth - extents.width ) / 2 - extents.x_bearing, _
  y => ( aHeight - extents.height ) / 2 - extents.y_bearing

screenLock()
  cairo_set_source_rgba( context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 )
  cairo_paint( context )
  
  cairo_move_to( context, x, y )
  cairo_set_source_rgba( context, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0 )
  cairo_show_text( context, text )
  
  cairo_surface_flush( surface )
screenUnlock()

'' Cleanup
cairo_destroy( context )
cairo_surface_destroy( surface )

cairo_font_face_destroy( cface )
FT_Done_Face( ftface )

sleep()

Result should be:

Hi N3trunn3r!

On 64 bit systems take care sending a proper stride value to function cairo_image_surface_create_for_data():

examples/graphics/FreeType/drawstr.bas doesn't work either (black screen).

Change:

Code: Select all

Dim As UInteger Ptr p = CPtr(UInteger Ptr, ScreenPtr()) + (y * SCREEN_W) + x

To:

Code: Select all

Dim As ULong Ptr p = CPtr(ULong Ptr, ScreenPtr()) + (y * SCREEN_W) + x

And I had to change the font location:

Code: Select all

'Const TTF_FONT = "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf"
Const TTF_FONT = "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf"

And you should get this:

AH wonderful! Thanks everyone :)
