Font/Text size

Troubleshooting graphics
1

Ok, I think I’m totally missing the boat here.



I found this Bitmap Font Builder which is very cool. Takes whatever fonts you have installed on your windows box and allows you to build a bmp from them. Great!



But, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change the rendered size. They always come out 16x16.



Text _text = new Text("label", "Test String");
_text .setLocalTranslation(new Vector3f(1, 30, 0)); // put it in the lower left corner

TextureState textImage = display.getRenderer().getTextureState();
textImage.setEnabled(true);
textImage.setTexture( TextureManager.loadTexture(
     FinisGame.class.getClassLoader().getResource(
          "data/font/new32.bmp"),
     Texture.MM_LINEAR,
     Texture.FM_LINEAR,
     true));

_text.setLocalScale( 20.0f);
_text.setRenderState( textImage);

// *** alpha state left out *** //



So, I figured that changing the LocalScale would do it. Nope.

I tried it before and after setting the texture.
I tried setting the LocalScale of the root element to try and scale it all. No go there either.

I guess I'm just missing the point.

Help would be appreciated.

Found the issue, the font rendering code was ignoring scale, so I added that in. It’s in CVS (LWJGLFont and LWJGLRenderer are changed).

Actually, I found it too and made the fix too!



You just beat me to the CVS checkin! :slight_smile:



Of course I can’t checkin until the evenings, sorry.



Thanks for you work.
