13:14:59  <peter1138> Nice, changing zoom settings while a news window with a viewport is open is funky.

13:16:29  <petern> Other windows handle viewports fine so just something missing in this one I guess 😄

13:27:31  *** lobstarooo_ has joined #openttd
13:28:58  <glx[d]> maybe you could look at #9996, I think it's somehow related
13:32:32  <petern> Don't think so, that's just about making sure the right zoom level is used when hi dpi is switched.
13:33:06  <petern> I guess it's related as zooming is involve d;)
13:34:16  *** lobster has quit IRC
13:34:22  *** lobstarooo_ is now known as lobster
13:35:05  <glx[d]> hmm maybe the reinit part of #9994 then
13:37:01  <glx[d]> oh all the viewport stuff is done in macos driver
13:37:33  <glx[d]> but I guess that should be done when manually changing zoom level too
13:38:38  <glx[d]> (didn't check the current code though)
13:49:21  *** nielsm has joined #openttd
13:50:26  <petern> Should be simple, it's already handled in other cases. I'll fiddle later.
13:55:27  <petern> Hmm, I wonder how the truetype system can be set up to use a specific font for certain glyphs.
13:55:36  <glx[d]> maybe it's the missing OnResize()
13:56:29  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016708472802377748/unknown.png
13:56:29  <petern> Some hand coded glyphs 🙂
13:57:44  <petern> I did draw these previously using a GUI tool, but I prefered to understand how SVG fonts work directly.
13:57:53  <glx[d]> vehicles, town and industy seem to do stuff with viewport in OnResize()
14:00:11  <glx[d]> indeed a search for `GetWidget<NWidgetViewport>` shows a noticeable diff in news_gui.cpp

15:35:56  <Bouke> glx[d]: There are some parts of 9994 that could be made generic, I think. Especially the resizing of windows / adjusting zoom levels.
15:38:56  <andythenorth> SVG font, but looks like pixels? 😛
15:39:01  * andythenorth wonders
16:26:47  <petern> andythenorth: minor curves in places but otherwise... yeah.
16:27:26  <petern> As a non-drawer, writing it in code works 😉

18:19:09  <TrueBrain> is that helpful?
18:20:40  <peter1138> :D
18:21:00  <andythenorth> software tender: 55.55% (recurring 5) complete
18:21:06  <andythenorth> such excite
18:21:19  <andythenorth> can Dall-E fill in tenders?
18:21:51  <petern> The unpinned and pinned icons are... different pins.
18:25:43  <andythenorth> yes
18:25:48  <andythenorth> did I do those?
18:25:51  <andythenorth> think I did the bug
18:26:04  <andythenorth> did I do the map dropper pin follow thing?
18:26:10  <andythenorth> or did someone fix that?
18:27:27  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016776661955510282/unknown.png
18:27:27  <petern> Who knows what
18:28:07  <petern> It's raining, so it's not like I'm wasting a bike ride evening.
18:28:37  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] LordAro approved pull request #10005: News window zoom level fixes. https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10005#pullrequestreview-1098068483
18:28:50  <andythenorth> hmm, can a non-base-set grf replace the ' glyph in original base set?
18:29:00  <andythenorth> it's a single RHS smart-quote
18:29:11  <andythenorth> but that means it can't be used for quote
18:29:54  <andythenorth> vector reimplementation of the entire pixel font or go home 😛
18:30:05  <andythenorth> maybe I should learn how that's done
18:30:08  <andythenorth> never made a font
18:30:43  <petern> unicode smart-quote works
18:31:30  <petern> andythenorth: Tempting but icons are more useful, and I am at home...
18:31:36  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016777707280932864/unknown.png
18:31:37  <petern> Such smart
18:31:40  <andythenorth> such
18:32:03  <andythenorth> I am currently using opengfx because I have to make FIRS screenshots that don't infringe rights 😛
18:32:08  <andythenorth> I don't normally
18:32:11  <petern> Aww
18:32:15  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016777872515534868/unknown.png
18:32:15  <andythenorth> but this font
18:32:19  <andythenorth> not the finest element of opengrf
18:32:56  <petern> 3x5 fonts are hard, but... that's bad.
18:33:11  <andythenorth> It's possibly the worst non-arty font I've ever seen 🙂
18:33:38  <andythenorth> the e has no open space
18:33:45  <andythenorth> the ascenders merge with descenders on the line above
18:34:04  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016778327006134353/unknown.png
18:34:04  <andythenorth> usually I see this
18:34:20  <petern> Yeah, lowercase is... humm.
18:34:25  <andythenorth> who is the OpenGFX maintainer?
18:34:33  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016778448397664346/unknown.png
18:34:51  <LordAro> andythenorth: pretty sure it's you
18:34:54  <LordAro> ;)

18:35:14  <petern> Works well but it's 3x7, not 3x5.
18:35:37  <petern> Press ESCAPE to KILL YOURSELF
18:35:44  <andythenorth> the best
18:36:30  <andythenorth> is that Repton?
18:36:38  <petern> It is, Repton 3.
18:36:51  <andythenorth> one of them had a level editor
18:36:56  <andythenorth> "my first modding experience"
18:37:05  <petern> That might be the "Please Select:" screen shot first...
18:37:12  <andythenorth> yes
18:37:38  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016779225849675977/unknown.png
18:37:38  <petern> Also 3x7, but not quite as good legibility.
18:37:55  <andythenorth> Silkscreen is not bad, I use it in my grfs https://kottke.org/plus/type/silkscreen/
18:38:08  <andythenorth> compiles print to spritesheet with it
18:38:44  <petern> In OpenTTD I just use TTF (unless I'm testing layout)
18:38:50  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016779527353024614/unknown.png
18:39:41  <petern> Genuine 8 bit graphics instead of "minecraft is blocky that must be 8 bit lol"
18:41:41  <LordAro> petern: don't you know? 3d graphics are always better than "2d"
18:44:04  <frosch> andythenorth: see, everyone wants to get rid of sprite fonts, and only use opentype fonts 🙂
18:45:17  <petern> Hmm, the clear input icon is not simply monochrome.
18:45:53  <petern> It has some minimal antialiasing, but of course that gets zoomed in too 😄
18:48:34  <petern> "Autorenew failed on Bus #6 Vehicle is not available" well, that's kinda confusing to me as there's a difference between Engine and Vehicle...
18:49:26  <andythenorth> frosch: oof

18:53:40  <andythenorth> there would be advantages to a proper pixel font 😛
18:54:21  <andythenorth> life is adapting to change 😛
18:54:30  <andythenorth> but I'm not sure I want to let go of the pixels
18:55:23  <petern> In my branch ScaleGUITrad() supports non-integer scaling 😄

19:41:37  <andythenorth> maybe I should compare some Open Font pixel fonts to the original base set sprite font
19:41:56  <andythenorth> there are only so many ways to fit pixels in 3x7 or so
19:42:23  <petern> It's 3x5.
19:42:28  <andythenorth> even less 😄
19:42:33  <andythenorth> I'm unclear what the copyright situation would be if I modified an openly licensed font to have the feeling of the TTD font
19:43:02  <andythenorth> obvs. the 'openly licensed' side is fine

19:45:19  <andythenorth> hmm the actual typeface cannot be copyrighted in US law
19:45:20  <petern> I have that change in my branch too, hehe
19:45:36  <andythenorth> the actual software font is copyrighted as a computer programme
19:45:58  <petern> "programs"
19:46:01  <andythenorth> those
19:46:08  <andythenorth> typefaces can also be explicitly trademarked under a name (like Palatino), or more rarely they can be patented
19:47:31  <andythenorth> "Bitmapped fonts are considered to be computerized representations of a typeface (and are not protected by copyright law)." allegedly according to a law blog, for the US
19:48:15  <andythenorth> UK has specific copyright protection for typefaces under a 1988 act
19:48:56  <Eddi|zuHause> i would think they can be considered artwork

19:51:32  <Eddi|zuHause> but that depends if the pixels were placed manually by a person, or as output of a program
19:51:51  *** gelignite has quit IRC
19:52:08  <andythenorth> I'm not going to armchair lawyer that one much more
19:52:23  <andythenorth> I started thinking about 'is it even a typeface, or is it sprites' etc
19:52:25  <andythenorth> but that's silly
19:52:54  <andythenorth> I think if I modified an open pixel font to roughly mimic TTD font, and released it personally
19:52:59  <andythenorth> there would be zero problems
19:53:00  <andythenorth> ever
19:53:29  <petern> There would be a problem ... it's still a pixel font!
19:53:54  <andythenorth> do I need to clarify that I mean a TrueType or something 😛
19:54:34  <Eddi|zuHause> i see no way that a true type font can be that clear on that resolution

19:59:43  <petern> That pencil icon for renaming...
19:59:47  <LordAro> is it me, or is GH being very slow at actually displaying comments this evening?
19:59:57  <petern> Why a pencil?
20:00:22  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: all of that looks horrible, and doesn't show the tiny font resolution at all.
20:00:52  <andythenorth> hmm
20:00:58  <andythenorth> not sure how to resolve that
20:01:01  <andythenorth> the 8px font is 8px
20:01:12  <andythenorth> oh the screenshot is hdpi
20:01:21  <LordAro> ha
20:01:28  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016800322045354187/unknown.png
20:01:51  <andythenorth> also an aliased pixel font - looking like this is the goal no?
20:02:09  <andythenorth> I think it lacks proper kerning but eh
20:02:24  <petern> Not really, there's no need for it to be pixelated.
20:02:25  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not convinced
20:03:42  <andythenorth> Hmm Silkscreen is all caps
20:04:12  <andythenorth> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016801008883597383/unknown.png

20:04:27  <Eddi|zuHause> lower case, accents, non-latin languages
20:04:46  <andythenorth> kanji? 😛
20:05:20  <andythenorth> oh

20:08:11  <Bouke> Does anyone know why OpenTTD speeds up while I hold SHIFT, even though the OTTD window doesn't have focus? (this is on macOS)
20:08:33  <petern> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1016802106717503518/unknown.png
20:08:33  <petern> Kinda...
20:08:59  <frosch> petern: there were a dozen suggestions for the location icon, hardly any for the rename icon: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23150643/103700879-65bcc400-4fa5-11eb-8307-49af643ef59e.png
20:09:42  <Bouke> Bouke: Oh well it's an undocumented shortcut? https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Hotkeys lists TAB, but doesn't work. SHIFT does indeed "press" the forward button. But I don't think it should be doing that if the window doesn't have focus.
20:09:59  <frosch> Bouke: it's depends on release/debug build
20:10:01  <petern> Shift does it in a debug build.
20:10:08  <frosch> in debug build "shift" does fast-forward
20:10:35  <frosch> because someone 15 years ago wanted to use alt+tab to switch between ottd and debugger on their single screen setup, and cost-estimation was considered less important
20:11:56  <Bouke> Oh wow, that's a nice "feature"!
20:13:08  <Eddi|zuHause> i've never heard that justification before
20:13:15  <frosch> i never use alt+tab, i wouldn't mind the shift behavior to vanish 🙂
20:13:34  <frosch> eddi: i think there is a source code comment about it
20:13:53  <Eddi|zuHause> well, it shouldn't be impossible to make the ff-button not press when ALT is active

20:14:56  <Eddi|zuHause> i use alt-tab all the time, and games do all kind of weird things with that
20:15:24  <Eddi|zuHause> like some games forget to un-press alt when going back in
20:15:25  <petern> Hmm, working with diagonals, grids become a pain 😄
20:15:50  <Eddi|zuHause> so buttons are treated as ALT when it's not actually pressed, and you need to press it again
20:18:54  <glx[d]> FF still has the issue of being an xor
20:20:10  <glx[d]> and you may be stuck in FF if autosave happens while you release the key (or something like that)
20:20:47  <glx[d]> but it's handle at very low level
20:20:48  <Bouke> yeah I noticed something like that as well, but couldn't reproduce. Probably happens a lot with the default autosave of every month I guess.
20:22:03  <glx[d]> andy complains about it at least once a year 🙂
20:22:20  <andythenorth> more like once a month
20:22:31  <andythenorth> it's killing me when testing industry animations
20:22:35  <andythenorth> or vehicle angles
20:22:41  <andythenorth> or smoke
20:22:44  <andythenorth> 😛
20:22:44  <Eddi|zuHause> my config file still has a non-existing setting of "weekly" for autosave
20:23:15  <Eddi|zuHause> from way back when i used one of those daylength patches
20:28:22  <petern> x: 2147483647
20:28:25  <petern> Okay, that's wrong.
20:28:53  <Eddi|zuHause> looks like -1 to me :p
20:30:11  <Eddi|zuHause> (but with 31 bit instead of 32)
