Migration guide
Introduction of MSDF user fonts
So far, we only had support for offline user-generated Bitmap fonts. In this version, we are introducing offline user-generated MSDF font support.
- The
ST_RenderSDFshader type was removed and newST_TextSDFGPU,ST_TextStrokeSDFGPU,ST_BatchedTextSDFGPU,ST_TextMSDF,ST_TextStrokeMSDFandST_BatchedTextMSDFshader types were introduced and added to the shader mappings. The first three are used for rendering of SDF fonts generated on the GPU, while the other three are used for the newly introduced MSDF rendering. Client attention/changes required! - The
PST_SDFRenderandPST_SDDOutlineRenderpixel shader source was moved from the CohShadeGeometry.ihlsl file to the CohShadeGeometryRare.ihlsl one. Client attention/changes required! - The
PST_MSDFRenderandPST_MSDFOutlineRenderpixel shader types were implemented in the CohShadeGeometryRare.ihlsl file. Client attention/changes required!
Changes related to the user font API
With the introduction of another type of user font, we decided to simplify the API for loading user fonts.
- As a result, we are no longer using the old
cohtml::System::BitmapFontDescriptionobject, but the newcohtml::System::UserFontDescriptionone. Aside from the changed name, it has two new parameters. The first is thetypeof the font, which specifies whether we are using the old Bitmap font logic, or the newly introduced MSDF one. The second one is thespread, which should be set to 0 in the case of Bitmap fonts and to the correct value for fonts that are using distance fields like the MSDF fonts, for example. - The pair of
cohtml::System::AddBitmapFontfunctions have been changed to a pair ofcohtml::System::AddUserFontones, that take the newcohtml::System::UserFontDescriptionconfiguration object instead of the oldcohtml::System::BitmapFontDescriptionone. This means that all references to that type (and its subtypes) should be changed to reflect how the new API works.
