I noticed that DrawString() fails when rendering a string with logical
width more than 2047, no matter the height.
I tried on an ARGB surface, which would use the unichrome driver's
drawstring function. It would die at line 44 of uc_accel.c, inside
uc_waitcmd(). Seems that the command never finishes.
When trying on an A8 surface, it doesn't use the unichrome driver. I
guess it is using software rendering. Anyway, the DrawString() succeeds,
but the result is distorted, ie. the string is stretched horizontally
and corrupted.
Concluding the two cases above, I doubt if there is anything wrong with
DrawString() for string longer than 2047 pixels.
In line 157 of src/core/fonts.c:
if (width > 2048)
width = 2048;
Is it related to this problem? Since I am a newbie in DFB, I don't
understand if it is the hardcoded limit.
Please advise. Thanks!
Selwyn
