Fixed Width Font for COG

Camillo Bruni
201 posts
Hey,

I recently ran into the issue that I cannot use a fixed width/monospace font when working under COG.

How can I include a custom font in the image?

Does anyone know what the proceedure is to include a new font directly in the image without plugin support?

eg Issue 3809 using DejaVu Mono in the image

i don't think that possible because to rasterize fonts you need a renderer

Not sure if you misread what Camillo wrote as "import directly into
image", but including additional fonts are certainly possible :)

As can be seen in the thread Damien linked in the issue, Juan did not
provide any easily reproducable process for how he did it for the normal
Deja Vu fonts though, so some experimentation would be necessary to
achieve good results.

Cheers,
Henry

, you can include the FT2Plugin from a standard vm somewhere Cog will
find it, and it should work.
Really should make this a FAQ entry :)

I would be interested in the result as well. Is there anyone working/experimenting with this?

Cheers,

just copying over the plugin worked perfectly.
nevertheless I think we should include the two fonts directly in the image...

though I wont have time to solve this the next few weeks. basically we need to write out each character of the ascii range into an image and store the x offset of each character in an array.

right-click on the VM.app "show package contents" goto Contents/Resources/

copy FT2Plugin.bundle to the same location in the cog / cocoa vm
