The netsurf core is driven from numerous operation tables most of
which are now set through a common netsurf_register() interface. The
font and plotting interfaces are currently separate and unlike all the
other operation tables are modified for differing contexts.
This change moves the font operations alongside all the other
operations table and remove unnecessary interaction with the renderers
font internals. Further this also removes the need for css internals
to be visible in frontends.
+ Now contains more glpyhs (was previously limited to cp-1252).
+ When a glyph is unavailable, the codepoint is now rendered.
+ Added glyph data file.
+ Added converter to generate the font's .c file from the data.
TODO:
The generated file is currently checked into the repo, but it
should be generated as part of the build process, in the
build-* directory.
To update the generated source file, first build the converter:
$ gcc -O2 -Wall framebuffer/convert_font.c -lm \
-o build-Linux-framebuffer/tools/convert_font
And then use it to generate the souce file:
$ build-Linux-framebuffer/tools/convert_font \
framebuffer/res/fonts/glyph_data \
framebuffer/GEN_font_internal.c -v
The converter's usage is:
convert_font [options] <in_file> <out_file>
See convert_font --help for more details.
has bold, italic and italic&bold variants. Change
internal font's encoding from CP437 to CP1252,
since it has more useful glyphs for web browsing.
