More font weight options & capitalise - Hitcher - 2015-03-03
Couple of font requests
- Lighter and bolder weights.
- Capitalise the first letter of each word.

"Capitalise the first letter of each word." would be great!!
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-03
Quick and dirty try @ https://github.com/mkortstiege/xbmc/tree/capitalize. A win32 testbuild based on master is queued on jenkins and should be on the mirrors later.
Should work like lower- and uppercase with using [CAPITALIZE] and/or with capitalize <style> tag in fonts.xml
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-03
What exactly do you mean with "lighter and bolder weights"?

I had a poke around GitHub and found the bold code if that helps -
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/c096e7eed321a0c90073d73d35cec463cefc5a0e/xbmc/guilib/GUIFontTTF.cpp
Code:
// Embolden code - original taken from freetype2 (ftsynth.c)
void CGUIFontTTFBase::EmboldenGlyph(FT_GlyphSlot slot)
{
if ( slot->format != FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_OUTLINE )
return;
/* some reasonable strength */
FT_Pos strength = FT_MulFix( m_face->units_per_EM,
m_face->size->metrics.y_scale ) / 24;
FT_BBox bbox_before, bbox_after;
FT_Outline_Get_CBox( &slot->outline, &bbox_before );
FT_Outline_Embolden( &slot->outline, strength ); // ignore error
FT_Outline_Get_CBox( &slot->outline, &bbox_after );
FT_Pos dx = bbox_after.xMax - bbox_before.xMax;
FT_Pos dy = bbox_after.yMax - bbox_before.yMax;
if ( slot->advance.x )
slot->advance.x += dx;
if ( slot->advance.y )
slot->advance.y += dy;
slot->metrics.width += dx;
slot->metrics.height += dy;
slot->metrics.horiBearingY += dy;
slot->metrics.horiAdvance += dx;
slot->metrics.vertBearingX -= dx / 2;
slot->metrics.vertBearingY += dy;
slot->metrics.vertAdvance += dy;

Working as expected except for acronyms.
NYPD becomes Nypd
N.Y.P.D becomes N.y.p.d
Also McCloud becomes Mccloud.
I guess this is converting all the letters (first to upper and the rest to lower) whereas it might be simpler to just convert the first to upper if it isn't already.
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-03
Right. That's what i mean with quick n dirty
Will fix and send a PR tomorrow. Will also look into the embolden one you linked.

RE: More font weight options & capitalise - Hitcher - 2015-03-14
A few more instances where the first letter gets missed are words following a bracket, slash, hyphen and quote.
Code:

Also any luck with this yet?
Thanks.
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-14
Will check why those are missing. No luck on the embolden one yet. I just had a brief look at it and i am still trying to get familiar with the guilib ..
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-14
Could you please give some examples and what you expect it to become?
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - Hitcher - 2015-03-14
This is a good example of different weights.
Code:
100 Thin (Hairline)
200 Extra Light (Ultra Light)
300 Light
400 Normal
500 Medium
600 Semi Bold (Demi Bold)
700 Bold
800 Extra Bold (Ultra Bold)
900 Black (Heavy)
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - mkortstiege - 2015-03-14
Oh
I actually meant the uppercasing one :p
RE: More font weight options & capitalise - Hitcher - 2015-03-14
Sorry, here you go.
Thanks.

skins can now use the [CAPITALIZE] tag to uppercase the first characters of every word in a string.
