Re: [Plib-users] plib fnt bug

Paul,

	While the bug tracker is the appropriate place to file bugs,
there hasn't been a lot of activity on the PLIB site lately and in fact
the mailing lists are probably a better choice.

	I doubt that there is a guide for porting TexFont to PLIB.  I'm
probably more familiar with the "fnt" library than most people, though,
and while I'm a bit busy right now I am certainly willing to answer
questions and help when I can.

Subject: [Plib-users] plib fnt bug

Hi all,

I'm porting Chromium BSU from Mark J. Kilgard's non-free[1] TexFont code
to plib's fnt library. The first issue I came across was that the plib
fnt code does not store and use the max descent value for the font and
it stores the max ascent value in a field called max_height. In TexFont,
max_ascent - max_descent is returned by the txfStringHeight function.
I've filed a bug about this at [2].

I'm wondering if the tracker is the right place to file bugs?

I'm wondering if there is a guide to porting TexFont code to plib? The
rest of the TexFont functions used by Chromium BSU are txfStringLength,
txfRenderString and txfBindFontTexture.
