From 86db5dfb6d334e583ea4161191754522ce850eed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:34:03 +0200 Subject: terminal: add unifont font-handling The unifont layer of libsystemd-terminal provides a fallback font for situations where no system-fonts are available, or if you don't want to deal with traditional font-formats for some reasons. The unifont API mmaps a pre-compiled bitmap font that was generated out of GNU-Unifont font-data. This guarantees, that all users of the font will share the pages in memory. Furthermore, the layout of the binary file allows accessing glyph data in O(1) without pre-rendering glyphs etc. That is, the OS can skip loading pages for glyphs that we never access. Note that this is currently a test-run and we want to include the binary file in the GNU-Unifont package. However, until it was considered stable and accepted by the maintainers, we will ship it as part of systemd. So far it's only enabled with the experimental --enable-terminal, anyway. --- tools/compile-unifont.py | 116 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 116 insertions(+) create mode 100755 tools/compile-unifont.py (limited to 'tools') diff --git a/tools/compile-unifont.py b/tools/compile-unifont.py new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..7004b946d2 --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/compile-unifont.py @@ -0,0 +1,116 @@ +# -*- Mode: python; coding: utf-8; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*- */ +# +# This file is part of systemd. +# +# Copyright 2013-2014 David Herrmann +# +# systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +# under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by +# the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or +# (at your option) any later version. +# +# systemd is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but +# WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +# MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
