TextSuite 0.8.1 released

I have released an new version of the TextSuite library. This versions only contains some small fixes and one feature of the latest developer version.

  • Bugfix: The parameters TS_BLOCK_OFFSET_X and TS_BLOCK_OFFSET_Y were swapped. X affected vertical offset and Y the horizontal.
  • Now the library is compatible with Delphi 2009 and 2010.
  • I've added the parameter TS_CREATOR_ADD_RESIZING_BORDER. This parameter will add an border to all new created chars after als post prcessings done. This border allows you to resize the chars inside of OpenGL. This may usefull if you want to resize fonts via glScale or you are using them in 3D.

Change of CMS to drupal

After i have change the cms of my mainsite to the drupal cms. Now the site of my TextSuite library (this site) follows. With this change its easy for me to manage or create new sites or news. Also you are able to sucribe to an newsfeed and post comment (on several sites). With this change i also included an new gallery which makes easy to view the pictures of the library. This gallery is only an small part of the whole gallery.

In addition. With the change of the cms im also changed the design. Now it's more leaned on my mainsite. The page is slightly variable in width. And as bigger change i'm using the font Palatino Linotype for all pages. This font has serifs. In my opinion the typeface looks much better and it can read pretty well. And with an font like this my page differs from most of all webpages.

To optimize the drawing of text you should enable ClearType in your operating system. ClearType is an technology to sharpen text on LCD Displays. Without the text look okay but with it's much better.

Constricted availability

Due the restructuring of my mainsite the website of the TextSuite library was constricted available. The access to the gallery was forbidden since 3 weeks. But at this moment all should works like before.
