Pre-rendered fonts in png in BDS!!!

Post by DJBrunoLima »

Hello Alexey!

Have you ever thought about introducing the font scheme for rendering into BDS, where in the png you can find the characters of the font used in the project, the same as used by producers and distributors?

This is used on commercial Blu-rays from Lionsgate and Sony Pictures. Below I will leave a video about the Java settings used to generate pre-rendered fonts in bitmap or png.

Hello,

Currently not planned. Theoretically it is possible, but too complicated.
Best regards,

DJBrunoLima and rickemail, why do you need this? What is a use case? I see only one use case - timer, and this can be added.
Best regards,

Hello Alexey, in my case, some customers complained about the quality of the image when rendering in real time, in the old powerdvd the font is rendered correctly because it uses directx9, in the more recent powerdvd they changed it to directx 11 and the numbers and letters have a distorted appearance, I've done tests with a lot of fonts, and they all look distorted and ugly, there was a client who also complained and said that he watches on a Bluray player, in my case I can't render the font because I use the command
manager.getChapterTimeByNumber
and also uses the command
manager.time2str(manager.getMediaTime
I know these are small details, I don't know if it's really worth your effort to make this possible just because two people are asking you, but I will buy another 12 months of updates to be able to update the software if the update is possible, my license expired a few months ago, you can check the database, my email is r.jvideoproducoes@gmail.com

I live in Brazil, I don't know if payments are still accepted on digitalriver.com, but I have a Binance account and I can transfer the payment method via USD as well

I agree with the friend above, I also have the same problem, some customers complain, taking into account that commercial companies use pre-rendered fonts, Sony and Lionsgate use the font alphabet character system printed in png, where in Java classes it is It is possible to edit texts with an editor. :shock:
