kerning

How can I obtain kerning information for GDI to then use in GetKerningPairs ? The documentation states that The number of pairs in the lpkrnpair array. If the font has more than nNumPairs kerning pairs, the function returns an error. However, I do not know how many pairs to pass in, and I don't see a way to query for it. EDIT #2 Here is my fill application that I have also tried, this is always producing 0 for any font for the number of pairs. GetLastError will always return 0 also. #include <windows.h> #include <Gdiplus.h> #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace Gdiplus; int

I've started developing an application in JavaFX and I've run in an issue, I could find very little helpful information about: The spacing of between characters in Linux is very uneven. I'm not talking about the width of different characters but of the spaces between the characters. It's visible in normal text, but the following example illustrates the effect better than normal text. Take a look at the first row. The space between the first two characters is smaller than between the second and third. This also happens between the sixth and seventh character and several others: Swing does not

I am trying to extract kerning information out of some .ttf fonts with freetype 2.6 library. This is how I get kerning informations (looping through characters): if( FT_HAS_KERNING(face->getFace()) && previous ){ FT_Vector delta; FT_UInt glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index( face->getFace(), character ); FT_UInt prev_index = FT_Get_Char_Index( face->getFace(), previous ); FT_Get_Kerning( face->getFace(), prev_index, glyph_index, FT_KERNING_DEFAULT, &delta ); kerning = delta.x >> 6; } I tried the program with some different fonts: "Times new roman.ttf", "Tymes.ttf", "minion.otf". For Times new Roman

There are a myriad of settings for NSAttributedParagraphStyle that I can see in Interface Builder: But none of these are for text kerning. Is there a way to adjust the text kerning in Xcode 7's Interface Builder for attributed text? (Please don't answer with how to do this in code - I already know how to do that!) You can actually do this without the use of a subclass through an extension. import UIKit @IBDesignable extension UILabel { @IBInspectable public var kerning:CGFloat { set{ if let currentAttibutedText = self.attributedText { let attribString = NSMutableAttributedString

I've got my nav bar mostly customized to my liking, but I'm trying to increase the kerning using NSKernAttributeName . I'm using the appearance proxy to set the nav bar to white text and a custom font, but when I try to add kerning it doesn't take effect. [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:20.0], NSFontAttributeName, [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.0], NSKernAttributeName, nil]]; Do I need to do something else to add some of the less
