Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have FreeType 2 installed.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Get a TrueType or Type 1 font.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Modify `runme' script for your encoding and font path.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Type: ./runme
|
|
|
|
|
5. Copy *.raw and font.desc files to ~/.mplayer/font/
|
|
|
|
|
6. Run subfont alone to see more options.

`subfont' program renders antialiased OSD and subtitle fonts for mplayer.

What you get are bitmap and alpha *.raw files and a font.desc.
|
|
|
|
|
What you need is TrueType, Type 1 or any other font supported by FreeType.

Alpha channel is created using outline and Gaussian blur filters.

ANY encoding is now supported! That is, all 8-bit encodings known by libc
|
|
|
|
|
and user-supplied encodings (also multibyte) through custom encoding files.

I prepared also Type 1 font `osd.pfb' for OSD characters based on bitmaps
|
|
|
|
|
created by chass.

Subfont was tested with Korean fonts from truetype-fonts-ko-2.0-1k.noarch.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
I found on http://rpmfind.net/ and euc-kr encoding. Custom encoding file
|
|
|
|
|
for euc-kr was generated from charmap I found in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/EUC-KR.gz
|
|
|
|
|
(glibc package). This should work with -unicode switch for mplayer
|
|
|
|
|
(though it is not Unicode encoding).
|
|
|
|
|
It took about 14 seconds to render over 8000 characters on P3 @ 600MHz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Custom encodings:
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
For each character you want to render write the line consisting of:
|
|
|
|
|
hexadecimal Unicode character code,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by whitespace,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by hexadecimal number representing your encoding,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by new line character.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: to render a single letter `aogonek' (Unicode 0x0105) and encode
|
|
|
|
|
it using iso-8859-2 encoding (0xB1), your custom encoding file will consist
|
|
|
|
|
of a sigle line:
|
|
|
|
|
0105 B1
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ Starting x position of each character and the bitmap width is aligned
|
|
|
|
|
to multiple of 8 (required by mplayer).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ Currently subfont won't work on big-endian systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ My development platform is RedHat 7.1. FreeType versions tested are
|
|
|
|
|
2.0.1 through 2.0.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ FreeType library has a bug that makes subfont display some warning message
|
|
|
|
|
about Unicode charmap for osd.pfb.
