EasyGlyph 1.2 Released – iPhone Font System
I’ve added some features and fixed some bugs in EasyGlyph – which is a font system for iPhone. You can ready about this tool in this earlier post. Specifically:
- Improved the font ripping tool to specify the text hinting style. This is really important for controlling the clarity of the text.
- Added the source code to the windows app. You can now compile this yourself.
- Fixed a memory leak in the display code.
- Begun working on alignment code for the objective-c classes. These still need a bit more work.
Here are some updated screenshots:
Brilliant. Thanks!
Hi there, I think I posted some updates for this version, but on another blogpost, here are my corrections to a memory leak that you have going on in the initFont method.
// set things up
-(void)initFont:(NSString *)fontImage:(NSString *)charSt:(NSString *)fontInfo {
fontUIImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:fontImage] retain];
characterDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
charSetLength = [charSt length];
NSArray *chunks = [fontInfo componentsSeparatedByString: @";"];
for (int i = 0; i < charSetLength; i++) {
NSString *ch = [charSt substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)];
EasyGlyphChar *cf = [[EasyGlyphChar alloc] init];
NSArray *dta = [[chunks objectAtIndex:i] componentsSeparatedByString: @","];
cf.x = [[dta objectAtIndex:0] floatValue];
cf.y = [[dta objectAtIndex:1] floatValue];
cf.w = [[dta objectAtIndex:2] floatValue];
cf.h = [[dta objectAtIndex:3] floatValue];
cf.kernx1 = [[dta objectAtIndex:4] floatValue];
cf.kernx2 = [[dta objectAtIndex:5] floatValue];
[characterDict setObject:cf forKey:ch];
[cf release];
}
}
Thanks for this, you should made it able to export a file that works converting to png
Sorry, the last line meant:
you should made it able to export a file that works when converting it to .pvr4
Thanks again
