Usage:
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
1. Make sure you have FreeType 2 installed.
|
|
2. Get a TrueType or Type 1 font.
|
|
3. Run ./configure from mplayer's root directory.
|
|
4. Modify `runme' script for your encoding and font path.
|
|
5. Type: ./runme
|
|
6. Copy *.raw and font.desc files to ~/.mplayer/font/
|
|
7. Run subfont alone to see more options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
About:
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Encodings:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
You can get any encoding and any charset.
|
|
1. If you want 8-bit charset, which is known to libc, encoded either in 8-bit
|
|
or Unicode (like ISO-8859-*, KOI8-*):
|
|
|
|
Find correct encoding name using `iconv --list' (on RedHat) and use it.
|
|
For latin2 subtitles I would write:
|
|
./subfont iso-8859-2 24 verdana.ttf
|
|
and for UTF-8 subtitles with latin2 charset:
|
|
./subfont --unicode iso-8859-2 24 verdana.ttf
|
|
|
|
2. If you want encoding not known to libc or non 8-bit (like EUC-KR):
|
|
|
|
Create file describing your charset:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
or (for UTF-8 subtitles):
|
|
hexadecimal Unicode character code
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
or to get unicode font.desc, write only:
|
|
0105
|
|
|
|
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). Simple script for this you will find in encodings directory.
|
|
This should work with -unicode switch for mplayer (though this is not Unicode).
|
|
It took about 10 seconds to render over 8000 characters on P3 @ 600MHz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New font.desc format (proposal):
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==========~
|
|
Subfont will generate new font.desc format when compiled with NEW_DESC macro defined
|
|
(uncomment appropriate line in Makefile).
|
|
|
|
These changes are to make bitmaps smaller and processing faster.
|
|
|
|
Changes to [info] section:
|
|
There is no `spacewidth'. It will not be useful.
|
|
`height` is the distance from one baseline to the next.
|
|
`ascender' is the distance from the baseline to the highest grid coordinate used to place the outline point.
|
|
`descender' is the distance from the baseline to the lowest grid coordinate used to place the outline point.
|
|
Note: upwards direction is positive.
|

|
|
|
|
Changes to [characters] section:
|
|
Bitmap start and bitmap end are replaced with:
|
|
bitmap start,
|
|
bitmap width,
|
|
bitmap height,
|
|
left bearing -- the horizontal distance from the current pen position to the bitmaps's left edge,
|
|
top bearing -- the vertical distance from the baseline to the bitmaps's top edge,
|
|
advance -- the horizontal distance the pen position must be incremented by after each glyph is rendered.
|
|
|
|
To anderstand this you must think in verctorial coordinates.
|
|
Necessarily read freetype-2.*/docs/glyphs/glyphs-7.html about vectorial coordinates!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
+ Starting x position of each character and the bitmap width is aligned
|
|
to multiple of 8 (required by mplayer).
|
|
|
|
+ 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.
