11/12/2021, 9:39 AMNME's text rendering is great esp in native (hxcpp)... it seems to use the systems renderer somehow - b

11/12/2021, 9:39 AMsuper sharp, with normal spacing / kerning - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:40 AMopenfl should really adopt whatever method NME is using... but i think the two have diverged hugely in that regard - o

11/12/2021, 9:41 AMthats nice, for sure... but i dont want to have to enforce bitmap fonts... - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:42 AMas an option it could be nice though - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:42 AMWell in theory you could use renderTexture for all fonts and then signed fields would just be drawn to that. - b

11/12/2021, 9:42 AMeither way, this isnt something im going to touch until my masochism kicks in 😄 - o

11/12/2021, 9:43 AMfound in Kha for html when using a renderTexture really had to draw 2x size - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:43 AMso maybe same for lots of targets - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:43 AMi find fonts in kha work really nicely too - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:44 AMthere isnt a text input so i had to write one, but the default text rendering is pretty smooth - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:44 AMbut they are just essentially two triangles I think - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:44 AMmaybe a quad - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:44 AMright - no idea about the impl - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:44 AMit's in graphics2 within graphics4 - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:45 AMyeah, just never looked into it... never really cared tbh... i use what the framework uses (where applicable) - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:45 AMgenerally haxeui piggy backs off the framework - o

11/12/2021, 9:45 AM - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:46 AMso it's just drawing from a sprite sheet sort of - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:47 AMit follows more or less same structure as the drawing shapes or images - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/12/2021, 9:47 AMyeah, i think i saw that somewhere... and when you change the font size it regens it from the font file (nicely) - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:48 AMbut if you go back to quad/triangles and sprite sheets so try to enter at lower level you can implement textfields in a more consistant way I guess? - o

11/12/2021, 9:49 AMThe problem with OpenFL is that they don't use triangles/quads for windows - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:52 AMThe Cairo thing is totally different - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:53 AMit means you can't control the triangles as well. - o
orange-van-60470
11/12/2021, 9:53 AMBut I guess Cairo is good for Tizen and allows more targets - b

11/13/2021, 8:14 AMWhat's the best haxeui target for extremely performant and rapid text tendering? - b
bulky-exabyte-6537
11/13/2021, 8:15 AMI guess wxwidgets - b
bright-gpu-74537
11/13/2021, 8:17 AMor haxeui-html5 i would guess
