malc_ tor8: ran some .ps file through ps2pdfwr and mupdf reports weird bboxes for text.. like for instance: <span font="Unnamed-T3" size="0.12" wmode="0" eol="1"> <char ucs="S" bbox="274 320 283 321" />, needless to say the glyphs are not at all one pixel tall11:44.10 
tor8 malc_: the height is based on the font "size" not the actual glyph size11:59.15 
  size="0.12" is what's used to calculate the font height11:59.30 
malc_ tor8: well,i'm getting one high pixel bboxes when not using mupdfshow too12:00.31 
  it's not a problem with mupdf (the application) since it only does rectangular text selection12:01.01 
sebras tor8: fz_shear is used to simulate italics when rendering glyphs. I wonder however why it is not named fz_skew to map to pdfref..?17:58.07 
  tor8: not that it is terribly importation, more of an observation.17:58.25 
ray_laptop ever since I installed VS 9 SP1, my computer has been crashing frequently. STOOPID microsoft ! :-(18:33.00 
  I can't even make it through the installs of some of the subsequent updates it finds are 'important'. Been going through them one at a time and have 9/10 system updates in. After 3 tries to get the last one in, moving on to the VS SP1 updates18:34.31 
  took about 15 minutes, but it made it through the first VS update (of 5)18:38.59 
sebras Robin_Watts: is there a reason that fz_gridfit_matrix() is the only matrix-function that takes fz_matrix *, while the others take fz_matrix?18:50.20 
  or that it is not in base_geometry? this may be since it's related to pixels, but still...18:53.08 
  tor8: regarding fz_shear. would it be more user-friendly to give the arguments in degrees of rotation from axis-alignment? see pdfref.19:24.39 
tor8 sebras: I don't think so. I doubt anyone wants a shearing matrix, and if they do they know enough about the math that they'll probably want the matrix values without some funky trigonometry getting in the way19:28.07 
  commit 68ddf2e5505b3b6295f2373fdac8a5b296bb441c is the one and only reason we have that function19:29.17 
  and with an angle, you'd need two functions19:29.48 
sebras yeah, I know about that commit.19:29.54 
tor8 or take two angles, making it somewhat difficult to understand19:30.25 
sebras why two functions? couldn't you just give two angles in one go?19:30.26 
  right.19:30.39 
  Robin_Watts: "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." :D23:23.26
