Description
I believe this is related to #32 where eaburns pointed out a potential issue with the scale factor. I don't know a great deal about fonts, but presuming a zero line gap and that height == ascent+descent
, I'm seeing issues with Droid Sans
and Source Code Pro
fonts using font.Drawer
, no hinting, 72dpi, 240pt.
For example:
bin, err := ioutil.ReadFile("DroidSans.ttf")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
f, err := truetype.Parse(bin)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fc := truetype.NewFace(f, &truetype.Options{
Size: 240,
DPI: 72,
Hinting: font.HintingNone,
})
fmt.Printf("metrics %+v\n", fc.Metrics())
// Output: metrics {Height:240:00 Ascent:222:50 Descent:56:39}
fmt.Printf("ascent+descent %v\n", fc.Metrics().Ascent+fc.Metrics().Descent)
// Output: ascent+descent 279:25
I'm packing glyphs in a texture and exporting the metrics for use in opengl. The above was causing my baseline calculation to be lower than expected. For now I've worked around this by scaling the ascent and descent by size/(ascent+descent)
which produced the semi-correct result I'd expect.
