01/15/2023, 12:00 PMyep that's exactly what I saw - c

01/15/2023, 12:01 PMregular bitmaps are flipped for some reason and can cause the program to crash sbf fonts just show the black/color channel characters - b

01/15/2023, 12:01 PMok, so its not something you've done, but another haxeui-heaps text bug? - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:02 PMyeah, nothing special going on in the app - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:02 PMyes, I tried to make it bare-bones to isolate the issue - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:03 PMwas wondering if you'd get that error in your own heaps app using those fonts - b

01/15/2023, 12:03 PMyeah, both labels are certainly off... - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:03 PMtbf, i think i only ever tested with ttf - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:03 PMso almost certainly something missing in haxeui-heaps - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:10 PMis this what the font is supposed to look like?? - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:10 PM(ignore the bitmap one) - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:11 PMmaybe it needs additional params in the
to make it look nice?toSdfFont - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:11 PM... do you have a (non haxeui) app that shows these fonts using just the normal heaps api ( @creamy-animal-95850 ) - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:15 PMYes! The params I used for toSdfFont() were size=12, channel=4, alphaCutoff=.5, smoothing=.45 - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:15 PMah, lemme try - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:16 PMmuch better - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:16 PMawesome - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:16 PMnow, i wonder how im gonna make this transparent to the user, or, give the user the ability to change these values.... 🤔 - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:18 PMhave you also used the bitmap font in a non-haxeui app? And it doesnt reverse the texture?? - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:18 PMlemme check one second - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:20 PMyes it looks like this: - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:20 PMnon-sdf - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:20 PMweird... is that app shareable? - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:21 PMit's a big one - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:21 PMhmmm, fair enough... is it easy enough for you to create a new heaps app (no haxeui) that loads these two fonts... - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:21 PMI could whip up one yeah - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:21 PMi can probably do it, but it wont be till later - b
bright-gpu-74537
01/15/2023, 12:22 PMgreat, that would help a bunch since i could see "the right way" to do it (im no heaps expert, so its likely im just doing things arse about face) - c
creamy-animal-95850
01/15/2023, 12:27 PMoops I've been saying 'sbf' instead of 'sdf'
