Re: [Kicad-developers] Version strings in window titles
Sorry for the delayed response. I was out of town this weekend with only a cell phone so my motivation to respond to emails was low. I have no personal attachment to version strings in the title bar. Very few applications that I have ever seen include the version in the title bar. As a developer, it's nice to see which build I'm using without having to open the about box but that's not something I do often. As a user, it tends to take up quite a bit of title bar space which can be annoying. Anyone else just got to have the version string in the title bar?

I still think it is nice to keep the menu, or at least the fucntionality. I may not need to be a seperate menu from the top bar menu as is now, it might actually be more appropiate in "normal" settings dialogs. I know those are not the same for eeschema and pcbnew, but maybe more similar in the future.

Re: [Kicad-developers] "Multichannel signed distance field" font rendering
Hi, I just committed some basic CMake support to that repo, it should compile on all platforms provided you have the freetype and boost libraries installed (I don't know which minimum versions are required). It compiled successfully on Debian stretch with boost 1.61 and freetype 2.6.3.

Re: [Kicad-developers] "Multichannel signed distance field" font rendering
Works fine. OS Ubuntu 16.04 GPU: AMD HD 4870 512 Mb, opensource driver В Суббота, 10 сен. 2016 в 6:05 , Michael Steinberg написал: Hello there, I've been working on trying to solve the blurred font issue in the OpenGL canvas. The current state of the work can be found in my branch "sdf" ( https://code.launchpad.net/~decimad/kicad/+git/kicad/+ref/sdf ). It uses a technique called "multichannel signed distance field" to recreate clear edges and corners in high zoom situations. The code is not polished for commiting yet! A motivational comparison screenshot before/after: https://s10.postimg.io/k00tnaax5/comparison.png It would be great if brave members could test the branch to see if it runs well on different hardware levels and if you are happy with the visuals. To create the font texture atlas I wrote a command-line tool that is only set up to build on windows currently (nothing platform dependent included, but it's currently a visual studio project). I don't know if there's a space to upload helper tools and if platform dependency would be accepted there. I could probably upload it to a github project though. Cheers!

Re: [Kicad-developers] "Multichannel signed distance field" font rendering
Hello Jean-Pierre, Could you tell us more about this command-line tool? the tool uses the MSDF-library by Viktor Chlumsky, adds a rectangle bin packing algorithm (max rectangles global) to pack the texture atlas and outputs in the format that is used by KiCad currently. Given that, for full support (Better character placement, maybe even kerning?) I would like to cooperate with Orson to make the necessary changes to the current OpenGL string code. I uploaded the Visual Studio project for the tool under MIT-License (the library by Viktor Chlumsky uses that license) to https://github.com/decimad/msdf-atlasgen . Cheers!
