Hi all,
unlike my previous post here, I did some searching before posting this time . The problem is i'm trying to use Cloggy's D3D text functions in the GDK and all im getting is this:



in DBPro I get this nicely anti aliased and unclipped text:



with practically identical code.

the GDK code is taken from this thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=57964&b=22

so I was wondering, did I miss an update for the GDK D3D text? How can I fix this ugly clipping + aliasing?

regards
draknir

Make sure you draw nothing except text between the begin and end text commands

Here is the exact code:



and here is the result:



other fonts give similar aliasing, and using italics always cuts off the sides of the characters. I cant possibly imagine this being a hardware problem, it MUST be a software problem, and IMHO its the source code of text.h and text.cpp from 3 years ago. Surely a newer version is available?

How does that work? I mean, can I use that stuff to draw anti-aliased text onto a memblock image? (Make memblock from Image) or something?

Sorry about that. I cheat. I get stuff I want into images. (Because I don't know how to get reall AA in Dark Either... though I think its probably EZ if you know how. I have a sneaking suspicion its a simple DirectX thing of choosing a font, size, and telling DirectX where to draw it, and the pointer to the "Surface" (your DarkGDK display.)

Oh.. possibly different directx sdk's behind the scenes is why results one way in dbpro and another in DarkGDK... MAYBE
