FBInk: A small tool/library to print crap on your screen! - Page 6

NiLuJe · 11-22-2018, 04:49 PM

Released v1.9.2!

Mainly a bunch of bugfixes around OpenType/TrueType rendering, as well as adding the ability to inhibit eInk refreshes, in case you want to do a bunch of things in quick succession.
Oh, and support for negative margins in OT/TTF rendering to make it easier to align stuff to the bottom/right edges

.

As mentioned earlier, this also introduces Python & Lua bindings, for when shell scripting can't quite cut it anymore

. And in the spirit of helping people to avoid having to set-up a cross-compilation toolchain, here's a LuaJIT binary

.

Hi NiLuJe,
I just like to mention that I cannot get the fbink cml tool v1.9.2 to work. Are there any steps necessary apart from installing KoborRoot.tgz? The only response I get is 'fbink: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("'.
v1.9.1 is working fine.

@tshering: Huh. That's weird, that vaguely sounds like a completely mangled binary.

I'll double-check the package. There's also a vague chance I (yet again) broke shared builds

.

how did you solder that 64bit cpu into your kobo... wow : - )

I just tried the latest build, and it's doing that too no matter how I attempt to run it.

NiLuJe · 12-16-2018, 12:23 PM

I managed to build a package with my native TC, didn't I?

EDIT:

Code:

usr/local/fbink/bin/fbink: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

Where's my Darwin award?!

I think Frostschutz already hinted at the cause of that.

NiLuJe · 12-16-2018, 12:26 PM

There, updated the first post with proper arm binaries

.

Sorry about that, I have *no idea* how I managed to eff this up like that...

.

EDIT: Made sure it wouldn't happen again...

Thank you! I like fbink very much!

NiLuJe · 12-22-2018, 10:41 PM

And released v1.9.3!

With actual working binaries!

. Errm.

Fairly minor fixes, mainly handling rotation on the Forma in button_scan, and right-padding support in the fixed cell codepath.

NiLuJe · 01-28-2019, 09:12 AM

Released v1.10.0!

With a few fixes & features

.

Imported the Terminus font family, because why not ;p.
Fixed a stupid regression (since v1.9.3) that could cause undefined behavior with certain unicode codepoints and the default font.
Allow requesting hardware dithering (provided the device actually supports it, i.e., Mk.7+ devices), mainly useful for images when you're not sure they're preprocessed properly

.
Updated the UTF-8 routines, should be safer, and a tiny bit faster. Invalid UTF-8 sequences will now be *rejected*!

NiLuJe · 02-01-2019, 05:01 PM

Released v1.10.1!

Mainly a hotfix release to fix yet another default font scaling regression (since v1.8.0): the default font size was a tad too large on 6" 300dpi devices (i.e., the Glo HD & Clara HD).

NiLuJe · 02-07-2019, 08:34 PM

Released v1.10.2!

A minor maintenance release, which does include a fix for extra kerning being applied to fonts with both a GPOS kerning table and an old-style kern table.

NiLuJe · 02-11-2019, 01:29 PM

Released v1.10.3!

A few fixes with OT/TTF rendering in some corner-cases (overlapping pixels, glyph clipping on line edge), as well as an actual fix for kerning, since I utterly borked it in v1.10.2... -_-".

NiLuJe · 02-21-2019, 04:14 PM

Released v1.11.1!

A few minor performance improvement on 32bpp fb in some cases, a minor rounding fix to progress bars that affected some devices, fixed the CLI tool to allow a clear screen without specifying a string, and a few new fonts

.
