This is on an Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex machine with all stock libraries and clutter 0.8.4 installed from source. Ok, a bit of testing on an Ubuntu Hardy based system seems to suggest that this is due to either the X driver (Intel i915) or buggy libraries on the Intrepid system. Yes, unfortunately Ubuntu have picked a buggy driver revision. A temporary fix is to disable text mip-mapping (note that you'll have problems using high-quality textures too, but the default settings for this are fine). You can do this application-side, with clutter_set_use_mipmapped_text (FALSE); before creating any ClutterLabel/ClutterEntry actors, or you can patch Clutter itself. In clutter-main.c, search for the line pango_clutter_font_map_set_use_mipmapping (ctx-font_map, TRUE); and change 'TRUE' to 'FALSE'. This will affect all Clutter applications and fix the problem. Note that scaled text will also look awful, however. -- Chris Lord, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com

The names assoicated with the various icons have missing letters (eg D s instead of Dates and P f nc s instead of Preferences). Any clues why this is going so badly wrong? As you said in a later email, this appears to be a problem with Intel drivers. It seems that if mipmapped textures are used then updating a sub-region occasionally causes it to lose the texture data so some of the earlier glyphs in the glyph cache disappear. The problem can be avoided by disabling mipmapped text with clutter_set_use_mipmapped_text. This is discussed briefly in bug 1205: http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205 Regards, - Neil -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com
[clutter] [report] clutter weekly report - w2
hi everyone; slightly late report after the holidays break - hope you all had a nice time. = development branch: (master) = + merged branch 'units-rework' - this branch fixed some improper internal usage of the Unit type and it makes changing the internal implementation of a ClutterUnit safe + merged branch 'text-actor' - the 'text-actor' branch contained the ClutterText actor, a replacement of both ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry; ClutterText is a drop-in replacement for everything that ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry currently provide -- plus multi-line editing and selection. - some bugs are still present, especially with selection handling and key navigation + merged branch 'animation-improvements' - this branch included improvements to the new implicit animation API as discussed in bug 1014, including setting custom progress functions for GTypes and overriding the animation progress by using a new, ClutterAnimatable interface + merged branch 'multiple-texture-rectangle' - this branch contained new API that allowed uploading multiple texture rectangles in one operation; this should speed up text rendering on GL by a factor of 2x-2.5x by uploading multiple glyphs at the same time (see bug 1289) + fix for a race condition on X11 - Clutter called glViewport() before knowing that the Drawable had been effectively resized by X; the code has now been reworked so that glViewport() is only ncalled when a ConfigureNotify event has been called; this requires an update in the integration libraries for embedding a Stage into another toolkit. clutter-gtk HEAD has already been fixed = experimental branches = + new experimental branches for 1.0 features that are going to be merged or are being considered for merging: - 'async-textures' -- a branch for adding threaded loading of textures from disk - 'units-to-float' -- a branch changing the ClutterUnit typedef to single precision floating point - 'cogl-float' -- a branch dropping fixed point from COGL whenever it does not make sense; the fixed point types and API is still available for embedded platforms to use = stable branch: (clutter-0-8) = + backported a variant of the X11 race fix = releases = + the tentative relese plan for Clutter 1.0 is: - Clutter 0.9.0 is scheduled for the end of this week; this release will be API slushy (mostly frozen, except for API fixes) - Clutter 0.9.2 is scheduled for 2009-01-30; this release will be API frozen - Clutter 0.9.4 is scheduled for 2009-02-13; will be the 1.0.0-rc1 - Clutter 1.0.0 is scheduled for 2009-02-27 = bugzilla = + 118 bugs opened against Clutter core + 10 bugs with 0.8 target milestone (bugs that can, or may be fixed in 'master' and backported to the current stable branch) + 16 bugs with 1.0 target milestone (bugs that should be fixed in 'master' before 1.0.0 is released) ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com
