From 2f452d06e6964b0edf26b0b3f6eaa156e3fa2d48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henri Beauchamp Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 13:57:39 +0100 Subject: Proposal #2 to restore how UI/dialogs used to render by prioritizing fallback fonts. With the emojis support, a new font was added, which not only provides emojis but also fancy colorful replacements for UTF-8 characters that used to be supported by our fallback (monochrome) fonts: this causes discrepancies and unwanted/undesired changes in scripted objects menus (e.g. an empty circle or square may render as a black, full one, a heart may render red instead of white), not to mention the larger font size used by the emoji characters... This patch restores the aspect of such menus/dialogs/UI elements with UTF-8 characters that *are* supported by the usual fallback fonts (fonts which may also vary from one viewer to another, and from one OS to another), so that everything keeps working/rendering as it always did so far, while not impairing the use of new colorful emojis. This second proposal ensures that: - "genuine" emojis (in the 0x1f000-0x1ffff range), will *always* be rendered using the new emojis font (this solves, for example, the monochrome "yellow faces" issue seen with some characters in my first proposal). - Special UTF-8 characters (in the 0x2000-0x32FF range) which have been used by scripters so far, will render as they used to, using the monochrome fallback fonts (this repairs scripted dialogs menus). - Remaining special characters, that do not have a corresponding glyph in the monochrome font, but do have one in the emojis font, will use the latter font to render. It also got the nice side-effect of removing the dependency on the ICU4C library. Note however that the recent commit: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/commit/326055ba82c22fedde186c6a56bafd4fe87e613a will need to be reverted to allow this patch to actually fix scripted dialogs. Also, some cleanup might be needed in skins/default/xui/*/emoji_characters.xml to remove from it the special UTF-8 characters that will no longer be rendered with fanciful colors, but instead with the monochrome font glyphs. --- indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt') diff --git a/indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt b/indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt index c947184dc8..5f4ed2fffa 100644 --- a/indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt @@ -3,7 +3,6 @@ project(llcommon) include(00-Common) -include(ICU4C) include(LLCommon) include(bugsplat) include(Linking) @@ -283,7 +282,6 @@ target_link_libraries( ll::uriparser ll::oslibraries ll::tracy - ll::icu4c ) target_include_directories(llcommon INTERFACE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}) -- cgit v1.2.3
