I see no way to easily do this. MetaFiles are recorded by using multiple calls to OutputDevice. At least it needs to be done in VCL then. >The "regression" probably comes >from the fact, that the new drawing layer is much more accurate and so >even factors of 100.0001% get the "stretched font treatment", which has the >problem with random-numbers of the legacy metafiles outlined above. No, for MetaFile replay, the primitives are not used, but still the VCL MetaFile Play command. Primitives are currently not involved in MetaFile replay. >If the above suggestion (request default-width for is done then most of the >problem is solved. The remainder of this issue would to extend the old >metafile format to use font-stretch-factors instead of the insane >multiplication product. Since the drawinglayer rework aims to replace the >legacy metafiles by a much better approach based on drawing primitives (which >on my advice avoid the random width number to calculate stretch factors) this >remaining task to extend the legacy metafile will become redundant soon. The primitive solution will in one of the next steps no longer use VCLs Play() command for MetaFiles, but interpret the MetaFile and change it to primitives, but this also requires the correct information in the MetaFiles themselves. Also, for OLE, only for own OLEs (Chart) it would be possible to change geometry transfer to primitives, so we will keep the MetaFile for OLEs for a long time. Thus i see no way around fixing this in the current MetaFile first. It will not be redundant, but necessary even for the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
