| 01:11.12 | starseeker | brlcad: I'm OK with doing a SEM lock if it doesn't slaughter performance too much... |
| 01:11.52 | starseeker | do I just stick in a new BU_SEM, e.g. #define BU_SEM_TIMER 4 ? |
| 01:14.45 | starseeker | O.o got a response on ProFont |
| 01:17.48 | starseeker | brlcad: forwarded to you |
| 01:18.45 | brlcad | starseeker: semaphores should not slaughter performance, but it depends on a lot of factors -- may want a separate bu mutex instead of the syscall one |
| 01:18.59 | brlcad | impressive that you got a response... |
| 01:20.29 | brlcad | that's pretty great news! |
| 01:21.29 | starseeker | thus illustrating the truism that it never hurts to ask... |
| 01:21.49 | starseeker | adds profont to the togl list... |
| 01:22.53 | brlcad | that's at least the 4th attempt to get a response from the copyright holders |
| 01:23.07 | brlcad | all previous had no response |
| 01:23.49 | brlcad | so well done! |
| 01:23.58 | starseeker | thanks! |
| 01:24.24 | starseeker | (ironically, after we found potentially acceptable replacements... still, it's a very nice option to have available) |
| 01:27.18 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39609 10/brlcad/branches/dmtogl/TODO.togl: Add Profont to the list - got the OK to use it under OFL. |
| 01:34.13 | starseeker | does mild happy dance |
| 01:34.39 | starseeker | working togl framebuffer and ProFont... that's a good day :-) |
| 01:37.28 | brlcad | yep, all four of the fonts have various little trade-offs as they go through reduction |
| 01:38.25 | brlcad | profont stays nicely balanced vertically and horizontally, for example, keeping most glyphs unambiguous |
| 01:39.07 | starseeker | we want the truetype version only? |
| 01:40.11 | brlcad | technically carl's 2.2 version unless steve chimes in |
| 01:40.15 | brlcad | whichever that is |
| 01:42.47 | starseeker | erm |
| 01:49.54 | starseeker | I *think*, based on profontdoc.txt, that the fonts themselves are Carl and Steve did the distributions and "Monaco Turner" control panel, whatever that is... |
| 01:53.26 | starseeker | the ProFontWinTweaked version has some changes and additions by Mike Smith, Mark Anderson and Tobias Jung |
| 02:01.44 | starseeker | tries to open the .sit file... |
| 02:05.43 | starseeker | is unsure of whether to try contacting them all or just going for the 2.2 original and doing whatever needs doing... |
| 02:22.19 | starseeker | Growl. Apparently expanding .sit files on Linux is a problem |
| 02:23.09 | starseeker | brlcad: I'll pull the 2.2 fonts out of the sit file tomorrow on the Mac - we might need to run them through fontforge to make them compatible with modern freetype, but we'll see |

| 07:05.41 | brlcad | if that means going back a rev or two, so be it |
| 07:05.58 | brlcad | or re-pinging the other authoers for their response now that he has chimed in |
