| | <<<Back 1 day (to 2011/08/10) | 2011/08/11 |
| mvrhel2 | alexcher: did you get the email I sent you about Resource/Halftone? | 02:43.53 |
| | henrys: I am finally testing a fix that gets almost all the compile warnings that I have introduced over the years.... | 02:44.38 |
| | I didn't realize how many were sitting in there | 02:45.08 |
| | most came in from before we had the cluster kick back that new warning | 02:45.37 |
| | s/that/the/ | 02:45.47 |
| henrys | thanks mvrhel2 when they get dense it is difficult to notice when an important warning comes up. | 02:46.12 |
| mvrhel2 | yes | 02:46.29 |
| | I may have one more commit to clean up a few minor ones after this. | 02:47.12 |
| | oh. I wanted to ask you about a bug henrys | 02:48.07 |
| | I dont really see 691744 ever being worked on since it is only relevant to 8.71 | 02:48.42 |
| henrys | looks like something that should be closed. | 02:50.53 |
| mvrhel2 | I was thinking the same | 02:51.52 |
| | done for the night. | 03:19.59 |
| marcosw_ | chrisl: you around? | 07:12.51 |
| kens | You're up late marcosw_ | 07:13.07 |
| marcosw_ | just a bit late, I took a nap this afternoon. You back from vacation? | 07:13.37 |
| kens | Yes, still going throgh email :-( | 07:13.50 |
| chrisl | marcosw_: I am around - for all while.... | 07:14.03 |
| marcosw_ | chrisl: I downloaded the commercial ghostscript-9.04.tar.gz but get an error when I "./autogen.sh; make": | 07:14.37 |
| | make: *** No rule to make target `contrib/japanese/gdevmag.c', needed by `obj/gdevmag.o'. Stop. | 07:14.39 |
| chrisl | marcosw_: you need to use --disable-contrib | 07:15.03 |
| marcosw_ | right. The commercial release doesn't include the contrib stuff. Shouldn't we detect that during autogen.sh? | 07:16.47 |
| | I guess I've always built the gpl version... | 07:17.05 |
| chrisl | marcosw_: we should detect it, but we never have. I figured as it wasn't a new problem, it wasn't worth delaying the release a few days for. | 07:17.40 |
| marcosw_ | it's not really a problem, our commercial customers presumably have their own build procedure, so are used to it. | 07:18.49 |
| chrisl | that's what I figured. I *will* fix it for 9.05 - we also need to be a bit more diligent with pruning the GPL code in there | 07:19.48 |
| malc_ | tor8: i wonder how hard it would be to ask fitz to draw a strig into supplied buffer? | 10:16.22 |
| tor8 | malc_: kinda hard, but not extremely so. | 10:24.49 |
| | the fz_text object that you use to draw strings is a bit low level for use directly | 10:25.14 |
| malc_ | tor8: can pdf api be somehow abused to not deal with the complexities of fitz? | 10:25.51 |
| tor8 | fitz is simpler than pdf :) just look at all the contortions the pdf interpreter goes through to encode and position text! | 10:26.28 |
| malc_ | screw it then, i'm sticking to glut and it's insanely slow text rendering :) | 10:27.28 |
| tor8 | since you're linking with freetype anyway, why not just use that? | 10:28.06 |
| | malc_: https://github.com/ccxvii/snippets/blob/master/glfont.c | 10:29.00 |
| malc_ | well, i thought that perhaps fitz is even simpler than that.. i have to be really bored to go from glutBitmapCharacter to something else.. | 10:29.15 |
| | tor8: thanks for the pointer | 10:29.26 |
| tor8 | that's what I use to draw good looking text in opengl | 10:29.39 |
| malc_ | i'm now one line above 6KLOC in a project i woved never to exceed 2 | 10:30.12 |
| | sigh | 10:30.13 |
| tor8 | that's life, sometimes :) | 10:30.24 |
| malc_ | yeah.. ading help/setup screen and bird's eye mode took significant amount of lines.. | 10:30.58 |
| | oh yeah, another thing - the info object's strings, how is one supposed to know whether they contain utf-16 or something else? | 10:40.31 |
| kens | Hi robin_watts_mac how is hte holiday ? | 10:48.23 |
| robin_watts_mac | kens: Hi. Fab, thanks. | 10:48.38 |
| kens | Where are you today ? | 10:48.50 |
| robin_watts_mac | Ha long bay | 10:48.57 |
| kens | Umm, which country ? | 10:49.07 |
| robin_watts_mac | Vietnam :) | 10:50.18 |
| kens | ah, bet the weather is better than here, and no riots either ;-) | 10:50.36 |
| robin_watts_mac | It's rained a lot today. very overcast. | 10:50.51 |
| | very humid. | 10:50.55 |
| kens | Hmm, no better then.... | 10:51.01 |
| robin_watts_mac | Happy Birthday chrisl_away. | 10:58.27 |
| chrisl_away | robin_watts_mac: thanks! | 11:41.43 |
| malc_ | tor8: uh, are you still around at all? | 12:52.49 |
| tor8 | malc_: oh, sorry, missed you question back there | 12:53.40 |
| | it's a bit of a guessing game, but they're supposed to have a byte-order mark at the beginning if they're utf-16. see pdf/pdf_parse.c:pdf_to_utf8 | 12:54.27 |
| malc_ | tor8: i'm not sure you are registered with nickserv right now either.. so privmsg i've sent you might went kaboom also | 12:54.40 |
| tor8 | yeah, I haven't bothered with the nicksrv | 12:54.54 |
| | plain /msg still works though | 12:55.08 |
| malc_ | tor8: regarding utf-16, i'm abusing fz_debug_obj to print info object.. and it doesn't do much in terms of recoding.. | 12:56.15 |
| | tor8: just to verify.. have you seen a verbal diahrrea i just unleashed on you in pirvmsg, or should i repeat with /msg? | 12:58.46 |
| tor8 | malc_: I saw your questions about thick lines | 12:59.59 |
| mvrhel2 | hi alexcher I just sent you an email. if you can have a quick look at it that would be great. I want to get back to the customer about this | 13:48.43 |
| | it is probably something very simple for you | 13:48.55 |
| alexcher | mvrhel2: OK | 13:51.41 |
| | mvrhel2: done | 14:01.00 |
| robin_watts_mac | kens: meant to ask, how was your holiday ? | 14:28.03 |
| kens | Good thanks :-) | 14:28.11 |
| henrys | welcome back kens! | 14:53.35 |
| kens | Hi henrys, thanks. I could wish the email backlog wasn't quite so large, I don't envy Ray and Robin when they come back ;-) | 14:54.06 |
| henrys | I've seen stuff for you pile up - not so much them but maybe I wasn't looking carefully. | 14:56.04 |
| kens | Well, I think I'm caught up now (3.5 hours just wading through email). I have a fix for the customer PDF/A problem I think, its a shame they didn't test it *before* the release.... | 14:57.17 |
| henrys | you mean it is a regression? | 14:58.19 |
| kens | Yes, I think so. I 'fixed' the generation of UUID because an online tool was complaining about it, and it seems it doesn't work on non-Windows platofrms. | 14:58.54 |
| | Of course, it was wrong before, and wrong now, but in different ways. | 14:59.05 |
| | OK I've put a proposed patch in the bug report, and have a regression test queued. I expect marcosw_ isn't really here, so if someone could ping him when he turns up and ask him to test the patch on bug #692422 I'd be grateful. I can't reproduce the problem myself. | 15:03.17 |
| henrys | best to send him an email. | 15:04.54 |
| kens | He should get one from the bug update anyway.... | 15:05.05 |
| | But I'll send him anohter one :-) | 15:05.20 |
| henrys | he hasn't been "fully here" lately maybe he's having to spend more time doing his thesis. | 15:05.57 |
| kens | I would expect that's true. | 15:06.17 |
| henrys | London's looking like LA these days | 15:26.00 |
| kens | Worse! | 15:26.24 |
| marcosw_ | kens: of course I'm here (just not paying attention) | 15:54.13 |
| kens | Hi marcosw_ | 15:54.57 |
| | Sent you an email anyway | 15:55.08 |
| henrys | marcosw_:I don't see a need for a meeting today, but let me know if you want one. | 15:55.17 |
| marcosw_ | I'm happy not meeting. | 15:55.42 |
| | btw, inches and meters should be more reliable now; I gave up on running them over wifi and wired them temporarily into my network. | 15:56.57 |
| | for whatever reason they kept losing the connection to the base station, even though I had them literally three feet from the it. | 15:57.35 |
| henrys | yes I cabled both my regression machines | 15:58.23 |
| kens | I'm off now, goodnight everyone. | 16:23.04 |
| henrys | marcosw_:are kilometers and miles wireless? | 17:04.35 |
| marcosw_ | no | 17:04.44 |
| mvrhel2 | alexcher: I just sent an email to the customer and cc'd you | 17:17.47 |
| | I think you are better suited to help them in this area | 17:18.02 |
| malc_ | tor8: integrated your glfont.. was surprisingly easy (took around one futurama episode).. a hell lot faster than glut bitmap characters (as expected) and looks like crap (not really expected).. | 17:29.39 |
| | tor8: actually it looks like crap when nimbus mono is used, with droid sans mono or dejavu lgc sans mono, it's a lot better (looked like i've setup blending wronly with nimbus) | 17:44.43 |
| | tor8: there's a bug somewhere in your code, somehow 'j' is mistreated in non mono-spaced fonts | 19:18.06 |
| tor8 | malc_: sorry, had to run out | 19:27.05 |
| | make sure you turn on alpha blending and enable texturing, since it draws textured quads with the texture setting only alpha | 19:27.56 |
| malc_ | yes, the drawing works (crap as hell for nimbus family, but it works).. 'j' in say droid sans does not | 19:29.37 |
| | oh ffs! not again.. this is 3rd time i'm hitting this crap | 19:33.24 |
| | char is NOT unsigned | 19:33.30 |
| | if you want signed chars you MUST say so | 19:33.43 |
| | is NOT signed i meant, not that it's unsigned either, char is distinct type.. and here on ppc it happens to be represented as unsigned, lsb gets value of 255 and all hell breaks.. | 19:35.50 |
| | tor8: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1cMuueQM | 19:49.10 |
| tor8 | what odd platform are you compiling on? I only know of one single place where chars are unsigned by default, and that's DOS | 20:25.50 |
| | . | 20:25.51 |
| malc_ | tor8: linux/ppc | 20:26.57 |
| | same holds for aix and osx on ppc | 20:27.11 |
| | tor8: can't seem to find anything that permits redistribution/use of the code in snippets.. | 20:35.53 |
| tor8 | hm, ought to add a readme file | 20:36.51 |
| malc_ | glfont allowed me to see cyrillic text in outline display for the first time ;) | 20:37.56 |
| | natt | 21:15.21 |
| Guest10947 | Hi. I was wondering if someone here could answer a question related to MuPDF? | 23:21.44 |
