[paragui-dev] RE: Kerning

[Christian M. Jensen]

I may have found the problem…

 

 

If you look in: http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step2.html

 

For:

/* increment pen position */

pen_x += slot->advance.x >> 6;

 

and then look at: paragui-1.1.8\paragui-1.1.8\src\font\pgfont.cpp

 

line 573:

BaseLineX += Glyph->Advance_x;

 

You will notice that it is missing the “ >> 6;”

 

Can someone tell me if this might fix it?

Hello,

 

I am having some trouble getting text to look “nice”. I have a feeling it has to do with kerning.

 

It appears that larger text has the letters space strangely. I used fontforge to look at the font and used it to render the face and it looks beautiful.

 

Basically, I am tying to render the word “Implicit” using Myriad Pro and there is a large gap between the p and l.

 

Can someone shed some light on this?

 

Thanks!
