TTF -> PGF font renderer ======================== skylark@mips.for.ever INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ To build this tool you will need the FreeType2 TTF font rendering library. Adjust the freetype.h header location (if necessary) in `build' and execute the script. The required version is 2.1.10 (last stable at the time of writing this file - required for bold/italic typeface synthesis). It is very likely that this tool will NOT brick your PSP. There is no known way of bricking the PSP by merely changing font images; even the few possible buffer overflows in the font parser would be limited to userspace. USAGE ~~~~~ ttf2pgf <source.ttf> <dest.pgf> [<face-options> [<shadow-options>]] * source.ttf is the source font file * dest.pgf is the result file (the one that will be created) * face-options is a string created from the following components: - <integer> : font size (height) in pixels - h<float> : horizontal scaling factor - a<float> : font advance scaling factor - b : embolden - i : italicize * face-options is a string created from the following components: - n : no shadow (do not emit shadow records) - b<float> : Gaussian blur filter radius - i<float> : shadow intensity MKFONTSET ~~~~~~~~~ * run ./mkfontset <sans.ttf> <serif.ttf> * a subdirectory, "fontmod", will be created, containing 16 PGF files with correct attributes (bold/italic/size/typeface) derived from the two TTF files KNOWN BUGS ~~~~~~~~~~ The tool is currently in alpha stage and wouldn't have been released if many people wouldn't have asked for it. Therefore it still has bugs: * advance widths can't exceed 35 units (rougly 17 pixels) * sometimes the PSP crashes (without long-term effects), especially if the generated fonts are small; it appears that PSP has problems rendering very small font bitmaps; if this is true, a workaround is expected
