From 2f452d06e6964b0edf26b0b3f6eaa156e3fa2d48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henri Beauchamp Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 13:57:39 +0100 Subject: Proposal #2 to restore how UI/dialogs used to render by prioritizing fallback fonts. With the emojis support, a new font was added, which not only provides emojis but also fancy colorful replacements for UTF-8 characters that used to be supported by our fallback (monochrome) fonts: this causes discrepancies and unwanted/undesired changes in scripted objects menus (e.g. an empty circle or square may render as a black, full one, a heart may render red instead of white), not to mention the larger font size used by the emoji characters... This patch restores the aspect of such menus/dialogs/UI elements with UTF-8 characters that *are* supported by the usual fallback fonts (fonts which may also vary from one viewer to another, and from one OS to another), so that everything keeps working/rendering as it always did so far, while not impairing the use of new colorful emojis. This second proposal ensures that: - "genuine" emojis (in the 0x1f000-0x1ffff range), will *always* be rendered using the new emojis font (this solves, for example, the monochrome "yellow faces" issue seen with some characters in my first proposal). - Special UTF-8 characters (in the 0x2000-0x32FF range) which have been used by scripters so far, will render as they used to, using the monochrome fallback fonts (this repairs scripted dialogs menus). - Remaining special characters, that do not have a corresponding glyph in the monochrome font, but do have one in the emojis font, will use the latter font to render. It also got the nice side-effect of removing the dependency on the ICU4C library. Note however that the recent commit: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/commit/326055ba82c22fedde186c6a56bafd4fe87e613a will need to be reverted to allow this patch to actually fix scripted dialogs. Also, some cleanup might be needed in skins/default/xui/*/emoji_characters.xml to remove from it the special UTF-8 characters that will no longer be rendered with fanciful colors, but instead with the monochrome font glyphs. --- indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py') diff --git a/indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py b/indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py index c7f32d0da9..3efd88964d 100755 --- a/indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py +++ b/indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py @@ -559,10 +559,6 @@ class Windows_x86_64_Manifest(ViewerManifest): self.path("OpenAL32.dll") self.path("alut.dll") - # For ICU4C - self.path("icudt48.dll") - self.path("icuuc48.dll") - # For textures self.path("openjp2.dll") -- cgit v1.2.3
