Re: [pygame] Module I made for drawing text with pygame

[bw]

Yes...I have acquired clunx capacitor 518400. No one can stop me now. 
And with this new font module I will win the Pyweek!


Oh, uh. Sorry, got a little excited. :)

I really like the convenience of this module, Christopher. I look 
forward to playing with it some. Some of those effects and alignments 
are a bit of a pain to code from scratch. The interface is as easy to 
use as an auto-clunker!


Very nice.

Those are some handsome fonts.

This module provides what is, for me, a more convenient interface to 
drawing text with pygame.font. It also provides a few effects, such as 
outlines and drop shadows. I plan to use this module in future PyWeeks.


Thanks,

Re: [pygame] freetype problem

Hi again,

This is definitely a bug. I have opened issue Issue #237 
. 
It will be fixed for Pygame 1.9.2 release.

Thanks for the answer. While I am at it I noticed that
when using render() and render_to() with a string with trailing
spaces,  one gets trimed of.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the problem. The freetype module is to be 
released with Pygame 1.9.2, and is stable except for bug fixes. The 
Pygame Windows installers are outdated, so this bug may have already 
been fixed. I will update the installers for next week. Hopefully I 
can add a x86_64 version as well.

How stable is the freetype module ? I have been running into problems
with it hanging my app completly. The following code should demonstrate
the problem. Pressing ESC and you'll see that it has crashed. However
if you set the underline parameter to 'False' things work nicely.
I am running it on Windows 7.

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
import pygame
from pygame import constants, event, display
from pygame import freetype

pygame.init()
freetype.init()
screen = display.set_mode((300, 200))
display.flip()
screen.fill(pygame.Color('White'))
display.flip()
f = pygame.freetype.SysFont('Times New Roman', 19)
f.underline = True
s, rec = f.render(u'Amazon')
screen.blit(s, (10, 30))
display.flip()

try:
loop = True
while loop:
for ev in event.get():
if ev.type == constants.QUIT:
loop = False
elif ev.type == constants.KEYDOWN and ev.key == 
constants.K_ESCAPE:

loop = False
finally:
freetype.quit()
display.quit()
