vdr-plugin-text2skin/README, branch v1.3.4

Ensure only one image library is used.

2009-07-13T21:28:51+00:00

Add support for building with GraphicsMagick.

2009-07-13T16:08:01+00:00

Replace internal freetype font handling with VDR's font facilities.

2009-07-12T22:12:24+00:00

Skins that use fonts other than VDR's standard "Osd", "Fix", and "Sml"
need to be adapted to use font names as understood by VDR's
CreateFont() (Family:Style as of writing this) instead of filenames in
their font attributes' names, to use '@' instead of ':' as the
separator before sizes, and have fonts shipped with the skin installed
and configured in fontconfig.  Typically, install font files (if
necessary) to a dir somewhere, run fc-cache(1) on the dir, replace for
example font="SomeFont.ttf:22,85" with font="Some Font@22,85" or
font="SomeFontBold.ttf:22,85" with font="Some Font:Bold@22,85" in the
*.skin file.  Also, in case the shipped fonts are derivatives of some
existing ones, they may need to be properly renamed to something so
they will be used instead of the original if it happens to be
installed. (closes #36)

Use pkg-config for finding FreeType and Imlib2.

Spelling fixes.

2009-07-08T21:18:11+00:00

Removed backward compatibility to VDR < 1.6.0 (closes #137)

2009-06-21T01:04:34+00:00

New release version 1.2

2009-06-01T16:19:15+00:00

- updated documentation

2005-01-31T14:39:45+00:00

- on devices capable of full-color OSD, bpp's have no meaning anymore

2004-06-25T17:54:38+00:00

  (but will still work like usual). On such devices, a full-screen 8-bit
  OSD will be used
- new display-item "PresentTextDescription" displays combined
  ShortText/Description
- displaying replay symbols only if information is actually available
- exchanged x, y, width, height with x1, y1, x2, y2 coordinates
  (skin version is now 0.0.3)
- coordinates may be negative to respect dynamic OSD settings
  (negative coordinates give pixels from the right or bottom edge)
- added base parameter to Skin item to be able to use full screen in absolute
  mode
- added a script to convert 0.0.2 skins to 0.0.3
- added parsing quoted texts (path="Bla.jpg" etc. will work correctly now)
- fixed translator to escape the dollar sign
- fixed display of scrollbar (REALLY!)
- fixed linkage of libMagick++

- reimplemented image cache (fixes segfaults and speeds up image loading)

2004-06-18T16:41:02+00:00

- fixed a recursion wenn de-initializing ImageMagick (crashes on exit)
- reverted the changes in ImageMagick-loader that concerned palettes
  (obviously some versions of ImageMagick are BROKEN!!! I am using 5.5.7 which
  works fine. Version 5.4.7 shows random errors)
- reimplemented "Flush image cache" into the setup menu
- included -lMagick into Makefile as a workaround for Debian (and others
  possibly)
- fixed display of scrollbar
