awesome! maybe to start with something you could write bitmapped font rendering (for now) so we can have text-mode in 640x480x16.. that way we can have an unicode console ;) (no more 8bit per character limit) > I started a true type implementation in mono some time ago, got it to read > basic structures of a .ttf file but stalled it because of the lack of time. > I'm planning to resume it on a later stage. awesome! that would definitely be usefull.. Too bad 3d hardware specs are sparse.. Being able to use perfect spatial hashing for fonts (http://research.microsoft.com/~hoppe/) would be awesome... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
