About ClearType.Is it the same for win2k3?Cause i can't seem to find it.

[Raphael]

I don't know, but should be. But well, you know how Microsoft tends to completely change the placement and name of options in every new version, so...
Anyway, using ClearType isn't neccessary explicitly (it's optimized for direct output to LCDs, but in this case we lose that special feature anyway), in general it's ok to just have some type of font antialiasing enabled. You'll see if that's the case in the font selection dialogue in the preview area. If you see font pixels, then antialising for this font is disabled, and also other way around. But maybe you even want pixelized characters :P It actually was just my personal recommendation to have it active for smooth fonts

Hye Raphael,

Yellow subs are very nice (thanks :! )

May I ask you for the following features... :
- A way to "lock" the subtitles colors (example making by default : yellow+black)
- a way to reduce/customize the "space" between characters (i find that all the font give me some ...l a r g e...s e n t e n c e....) ?
Or do you have any font that would do the match ?

Thanks.

csuper.

PS: I uploaded a new version of FontGenerator also, which fixes the wide spacing of characters, also introducing a new option to manually adjust the spacing and fixing the vertical clipping bug, but at the cost that it currently will cut the rightmost character by a few pixels :(. I cannot control this without updating pmp mod though, so you'll have to either take that little drawback or stick with the too wide spread font.

There's a problem that crashes fontgen randomly when creating asian fonts, but I have yet to find the real cause of this. It's really freaking me out, because there is a single line which has absolutely no possibility to cause the crash, though removing the line will avoid a crash (but completely displace all characters). Probably have to sleep a night over it...

As for saving the settings, we'll see if I find the muse to add a quick settings file hack before the GUI version. Shouldn't be much work though.

I think you mean in the filelist, not the real filename is actually changed to uppercase? Well, could be I somewhere missed to copy the uppercase version to a seperate buffer. I needed uppercase for finding all possible cases of subtitle file extensions.

The second thing I don't know, I never had that happen to me. Could it be you used a video which was 4:3 format in those cases?

Heh, after getting into the PMP Mod dev through the threads over in Development forum I never really looked outside this forum :) sorry and thanks for moving to appropriate place


PS: I updated the FontGenerator once more. It still contains the fixes for charcter spacing, but I fixed the crash bug with asian languages and now also added support for GB-18030 character set (trad. & simp. chinese), as well as loading your own charsets from .ucm files. These are files which just list Unicode charcodes in a human readable form like this:

Code: Select all

<Uxxxx>
<Uxxxx>
...

where xxxx is a four character hexadecimal number.
There are lots of such files available here:
http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/view ... /data/ucm/
So if you still don't find a characterset suitable for you, download one of the ucm files or create your own and then create a font from it.

NOTE: Fonts created through ucm files will currently default your subtitle input mode to UTF-8, so if you created a charset which is covered by the ASCII range, you need to manually change the input method during playback by pressing CROSS+SELECT. You could however also just convert your subtitle files to UTF-8 format then ;P

@Raphael

yeah i mean filelist...

the second one happened when i press O+X or +X dunno actually i just did many button combo and when i played the video the loading text doesnt disappear..

ill try to figure out again how i did it.. btw the video is not 4:3 its full screen.

EDIT:

i tried it my video res is 480:208
so there is a border space in the upper nd lower portion..

when i exit video the filelist changed to UPPERCASE then when i palyed it again the loading text doesnt disappear.

New release with a lot of changes and bugfixes. Dedicated to malloc, see first post for a more information :)

Did you stop working on the gui mode?

I found the fontsize 10 is too small for Japanese or Chinese characters, if it can use 14 or more will be much better~~~
