Native FBInk: Another small tool to print crap on your screen! - Page 11

codex-hex · 11-07-2018, 01:58 PM

When i use simple commad to show hello world in Nickel with 1.9 release it shows hello world OT/TT, but when i try to show in koreader or KSM ,its interface freezes and then i have to reboot my kobo device.1.8.1 release didnt show hello world on the screen in koreader but 1.8.1 release didnt make my device interface freeze.
İ think something going wrong.
Thanks

@codex-hex: Does the shell hang? What does dmesg has to say abut it if it doesn't? Does image/non-OT rendering work? And, once again, full fbink output

I didn't look into it much further, because the "double -o" usage pattern is kind of anecdotal

Maybe not so much

Code:

#outline.sh:
# Use overlay with margin displacement to create formatting effects
#expects PATH=$PATH:.:..
cd /mnt/us

#keep the Kindle quiet

System freezes completely while i am in the koreader so i cannot get the log.tenet connection drops too.1.9 release did this.1.8.x dont make my system freeze but fbink hello world didnt work.

NiLuJe · 11-08-2018, 01:01 PM

@codex-hex:

* How are you testing things?

I assume you're typing stuff in a shell, so you should at least be able to show me what you're typing and what's the shell output before it hangs.
Unless you're doing this from KOReader's term, in which case, don't, use a real ssh/telnet shell (ssh if possible, less finicky).

* Does image/non-OT rendering work?

NiLuJe · 11-10-2018, 12:36 PM

Released v1.9.1!

A bunch of bugfixes, as well as PW4 support

.

PoP · 11-11-2018, 10:38 AM

Not sure if v1.9.1 introduced these 2 behaviours, or else:

Code:

I was expecting the 7 be on the second line or possibly just be clipped from the middle line.

NiLuJe · 11-11-2018, 12:04 PM

@PoP: Probably not new, no

. Is that font available somewhere so that I can replicate this and see what shakes?

PoP · 11-11-2018, 12:39 PM

^PMed.

NiLuJe · 11-12-2018, 01:09 AM

@PoP: Got it, thanks

.

Quite a few things going wrong there (printing the lowercase 'i' crashes), so, more testing tomorrow...

But, yeah, the inversion was borked on einkfb for B&W, so, that's fixed, at least

.

One more thing, trying to print the rocket 🚀 at U+1F680 (UTF-8 Surrogate pair U+D83D U+DE80) defies the parser

...more Unicode fun.

Code:

[root@kindle us]# fbink -t regular=/mnt/us/linkfonts/fonts/unscii-8.otf,size=86 -o -M -m -c < u1F680

[FBInk] Codepoint U+D83D is not covered by this font!
[FBInk] Codepoint U+DE80 is not covered by this font!
[root@kindle us]#

NiLuJe · 11-12-2018, 04:50 PM

@PoP: Ah, that's easy, forgot to plug OT support into the stdin codepath ;p.

EDIT: And now I properly get 2 squares (one if I feed it U+1F680 directly) because there's no rocket glyph in my unscii version

.

EDIT²: But with Win 10's symbol font, we have liftoff!

Code:

./fbink -t regular=seguisym.ttf,size=86 -o -M -m -c -v "<0001f680>"                                                                                                                                                              ──(Tue, Sep 13)─┘

We don't do any shaping, so you have to use precomposed characters.

@NiLuJe: Great, is "<0001f680>" a forthcoming new notation in strings?

NiLuJe · 11-12-2018, 06:23 PM

@PoP: Nope, that's ZSH (or Konsole?)

.

NiLuJe · 11-12-2018, 07:03 PM

@PoP: Go forth, and break stuff! ;p.
