Wow, that's cool :) So you can create your custom font lumps with this? Out of already existing true types or what?!

I'm really looking forward to messing around with this once a Windows build is available. :)

As far as I see, you USE a TrueType font to create a FON2 file for ZDoom.

We'll not get a working version for Windows until a kind programmer steps in.

Well, I built a unicode build of wxLua, but when I run doomfontgen I get this error:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
wxLua Error
---------------------------
lua: Error while running chunk
wxLua: Expected a string or wxString for parameter 2, but got 'no value'.
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'GetXRCID'
	script\doomfontgen.lua:396: in function 'main'
	script\doomfontgen.lua:576: in main chunk

Raz, you built a slightly older version of wxLua than i did. GetXRCID was changed to a static function in the newer version. You could compile the newer version (the one in cvs works) or you could change all the calls to GetXRCID to use a : instead of a .

I'll try to get a newer snapshot of the source (I saw they have that on the site) and see how it goes.

EDIT: Still have the same problem as your release, all the characters are messed up. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here...

That's weird. I'm setting up a build right now, we'll see how it goes... I might have to scrap the unicode stuff for the first release.

Windows Unicode support is based entirely around UCS-2 (two-byte characters), not UTF-8. It may have been extended to support UTF-16 when that specification was formalized, but I don't know.

You'll get a lot more people here using your software if you do a Windows build, trust me. =D
