TTF to bitmap conversion needed!

Post by mol »

Does sb. have (and can share) example, how to convert truetype fonts to bitmap?
Eg. given string, the name of font and size converted to bitmap (or array of bits....)

Best regards, Marek

Hola Marek,
En la HMG Extended Edition (http://hmgextended.com) hay en una carpeta:
\minigui\samples\applications\wbt\
una herramienta para crear botones para la WEB.
Si bien no es lo que realmente precisas, cambiando un poco el código
seguramente podras crear fuentes TTF en BMP's.
Espero que sea de utilidad
Saludos

PL version==============

Przypuszczalnie niewielkim nakładem mógłbym napisać gratis programik w Delphi, który na wejściu czytałby z pliku string i parametry fontu, natomiast na wyjściu zapisałby wymaganą macierz. Własciwy program musiałby wówczas:
a) zapisać w pliku dane (string+ font param)
b) uruchomić ten programik
c) odczekać sekundę lub dwie (dopóki nie powstanie plik z danymi macierzy)
d) wczytać macierz

Jest to oczywiscie sztukowanie które ani mi się podoba, ani go nie polecam, ale jak się nie ma co się lubi... Gdyby ta wersja zyskałaby akceptację to proszę o specyfikację formatu zapisu (x,y,color).



EN version==============

Presumably, a small effort I could write free applet in Delphi, which he would read the input file( string and font parameters), and the output would save the required matrix. The main program would then:
a) save the data(font string + param) in the file
b) run the applet
c) Wait a second or two (until the file with matrix will be created)
d) load the matrix from the file

It is of course that not a kind of patching I like it nor recommend it, but if you do not have what you like ... If this version would gain acceptance, please specify a format (x, y, color).

Dzięki za chęć pomocy. Spróbuję jeszcze rozeznać temat, gdyż klient nie określił się do końca jaki chce format danych wyjściowych - chce programować matrycę LED (reklamową) zupełnie własnej konstrukcji, sam wymyślił sposób transmisji do niej oraz sposób przechowywania danych w sterowniku. Pogadam z nim i ew. skontaktuję się.

Thanks for help!

Great! It will be definitely useful.

Thanks Claudio
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Marek, do you must type so many symbols in "Polish version" of simple "Thanks..."? :)

Seriously, I remember that I saw something like this... I'll try to find (but I'm not sure that successfully).
As I understand, you want to have something like:

Code: Select all

local oMyBMP
  ...
  oMyBMP := String_2_BMP( "Marek Olszewski", "Times New Roman", 12 )
  ...
and after that use bit array in "oMyBMP" as (for example) captcha... or save this array to temporary (or constant) BMP-file... That's right?

P.S. I googled right now on "create captcha Foxpro" - and try to look here: "A Captcha Image Generator for Foxpro"... Maybe it helps?

P.P.S. (10 minutes later) While I thought, googleed and wrote my post - Claudio give us his sample. I'm too late again... :( :) Claudio, I tested it right now too - it's cool and useful thing! :) Thanks!
