8 I3479: Text primitive doesn\'t work in 3rd ed - ID: 1518813

Last Update: Comment added ( dorianscholz )

Details:

The text primitive of graphics only draws tiny smudges
instead of readable text on 3rd ed devices. This is
because of the lack of proper support for scalable fonts.

Date: 2007-08-29 13:55 Sender: dorianscholz Since I couldn't reopen this bug, I filed a new detailed bug report about this new problem at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1784027&group_id=154155&atid=790646
Date: 2007-08-28 20:46 Sender: dorianscholz Here is the problem: If you use a tuple as the font specification and try to draw on an Image and not directly on the canvas it fails. That's why I always got the small unreadable text... If you draw directly on the canvas, there is no problem. But I really need to draw on an Image, which I use as a double buffer. This only works if I specify the font as a plain string symbolic name or as a unicode full font name or as None. As soon as I try to use a tuple (even ('normal', None)) it fails.
Date: 2007-08-25 03:06 Sender: dorianscholz Same here on a Nokia N73... With PyS60 1.4.0 the text drawn on a canvas is still unreadable small! Please have another look at it! It works with 1.3.19 and the Enhanced Graphics module...

Date: 2007-04-29 11:54 Sender: gagravarr 9 months without an official fix, without a note in the documentation pdf, and everyone having to patch their own copy of python to give readable canvas text. Is there a reason why there's still no official fix, and an eta on one?

Date: 2006-11-25 03:37 Sender: jibberia Any idea when this may be fixed? This is REALLY holding things back for me. I'm happy to try an alpha-release fix.

Date: 2006-10-22 09:38 Sender: erhankins Logged In: YES user_id=433475 Possible workaround? http://www.alloigra.ru/py/demofont.html My Russian is rusty but that seems to be a font already scaled up for 3rd ed. Anyone know if it's possible to slip a modified version of that onto the filesystem somewhere? Or would a custom build of PyS60 required because it needs to get lumped into the appuifw lib.
