hi list,
tried to use the "text2d"-object to show a simple float counter in a gemwin. problem: the window updates too slow if a font-size of e.g. 400 is used. does anyone know a different approach to it? How can i show fast and effective a good readable number on screen?
thanks j ,.
hello,
when i have to draw lot's of text, i usually generate letters as texture. using pix_multitexture you can render text the way you want. the drawback is that you have to generate the texture (imagemagick is good for this), Also, images quality is not as good if you change the size of the text. c

Hello,
Here an other way to use texture as number. But the Cyrille's solution with texunit and GLSL is simpler for the same result ;) ++

afair, i have fixed a number of spurious "bogus pointer" errors in the git. despite being "errors", those messages are usually harmless warnings.

hi jack, i get this error (many times) with your patch on GEM: ver: 0.93.3, compiled: Nov 10 2011 running in 0.43.1 ext on OS 10.7 also the font is not found. [text3d]: cannot find font-file '/path to/vera.ttf' if a font file is specified the patch works.

Hello Max,
Good to know that the problem about this 'bogus pointer' comme from the font. Yep, on Linux (I don't know on other OS) you have to specify the path to your vera.ttf (by default) in file > path. Me, it is in the /usr/share/fonts/truetype. It is also posible to put this vera.ttf in the same folder than your patch. Good night. ++

definitely not.

Gem always needs to find the truetype font in order to be able to render a text. it will look for the default font "vera.ttf" in all search-paths of Pd, including the the patch's home.

so how does not finding the font create a bogus _image_? without a font, you will get an empty (black) image, but that is not "bogus" (as in "non-existant")

Also try text3d - it may be faster ... the reason has been discussed on this list in the past, so try the archives too.
