fonts

I have a bezier path library to draw complex bezier paths without problem. Now, I need to know how to read a text or font and extract its path information to draw it as a path instead of as text.

I came across a C applicaiton, FontForge. It does exactly what I need, picks any font and extract its path information. But what I need to know is how it does it to add that feature to my drawing library.

GLSL check if fragment is on geometry

I am currently writing the positions of my geometry to the RGB channels of gl_FragColor and I would like to write 1.0 to the alpha channel if the fragment is part of geometry, and 0.0 if its empty. Is there a simple way to tell if a fragment is geometry or not? Maybe through gl_FragCoord.z? thanks >>> More

I was having problems while intersecting two geometries, getting a TopologyException probably due to a rounding error during the operation, then I read this fix and tried a buffer(0) on both input geometries, but still without success. Then I tried geo.buffer(1).buffer(-1) and it worked. Will these… >>> More

I have a loop where I create a multiple Mesh with different geometry, because each mesh has one texture: .... var geoCube = new THREE.CubeGeometry(voxelSize, voxelSize, voxelSize); var geometry = new THREE.Geometry(); for( var i = 0; i < voxels.length; i++ ){ var voxel = voxels[i]; var object; … >>> More

Trying to debug some linker errors, I turned on /VERBOSE and I'm trying to make sense of the output. It occurs to me that I really don't know how to read it. For example: 1>Compiling version info 1>Linking... 1>Starting pass 1 1>Processed /DEFAULTLIB:mfc80.lib 1>Processed /DEFAULTLIB:mfcs80… >>> More

I'm trying to learn opengl. I did some code for building a rectangular prism. I don't want to draw back faces so I used glCullFace(GL_BACK), glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);. But I keep getting back faces also when viewing from front and also sometimes when rotating sides are vanishing. Can someone point me… >>> More
