First released: Tue, 2007-02-20 14:14
Updated release which fixes 100% of all bugs and problems encountered
by users of this component so far and also adds some new functionality
Changes:
-
The alpha part of the drawing color is now respected, allowing
semi-transparent text to be rendered -
Fonts now use BGRA-32 bitmaps. The original release used alpha8,
which turned out to be not that widely supported. Even the XBox 360
cannot cope with this format. The new release should work on
the XBox 360 now! -
Fonts now provide a bounding box that makes it easier to properly align
text and calculate the line height amongst other things -
Custom effects can be passed when rendering fonts. This allows for all
kinds of distortion, recoloring and touch-up effects in the text -
The FreeType library used by the importer has been upgraded to
the new FreeType 2.3.0 release -
New Text manager that helps queueing text until the rest of the drawing
commands has been finished to ensure text is on top of everything else.
