Still experiencing font problems

[webbanane]

Hi!

Am experiencing font problems: no or wrong text/font is displayed. :shocked:

* clean
* svn update
* build.sh,
* new svn checkout
* font renaming
* font copying
* t3ch
* source tree
... nothing helps.

I still have an old binary that works "nearly perfect" both with t3ch and source tree! And my new one (without any source modifications by me), that don't! Seems to me as if something is wrong with svn? But nobody else seems to experience this?

???

configure option is --disable-gl

have a gf 6800
opengl does not work
did not install anything special on os for it

[althekiller]

You should really use the build script...

Also, that gfx card WILL most certainly do opengl. You just need to READ!

[mrkrad]

post your xbmc.log it tells all
or drop to terminal and run the app and you'll see the problem in the terminal window as they crop up.

Hi together!

Thanks for your answers. I have read the following sources of information:

1. wiki: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOW-TO_compile_XBMC_for_Linux_from_source_code
2. svn-sources: README.linux

But information in README.linux seems incomplete or inconsistent when not using build.sh (section 4.1) and doing manual build (section 4.2), because it does not describe things about case confusion.

O.k. and now once again from scratch, I follow the wiki and do it again and tell exactly what I do to start xbmc (first goal: without opengl):

a) already installed subversion: skipped installation of subversion

b) cd $HOME

c) get a fresh source tree: svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC
works as expected, no error message

d) assure everything is installed: sudo apt-get install make g++-4.1 gcc-4.1 libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-stretch-dev libcdio6 libcdio-dev libfribidi0 libfribidi-dev liblzo1 liblzo-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libsmbclient-dev libsmbclient libasound2-dev python2.4-dev python2.4 python-sqlite libglew1 libglew-dev libcurl3-dev g++ gawk x11proto-xinerama-dev libxinerama-dev

e) configure without opengl: ./configure --disable-gl

f) compile: make

g) workaround case-problems userdata: ln -sf userdata UserData

h) workaround case-problems font: mv media/Fonts/arial.ttf media/Fonts/Arial.ttf

i) execute within source(!) tree: ./XboxMediaCenter
console says:
Loading fonts from /home/banane/XBMC/skin/Project Mayhem III/PAL/Font.xml
Couldn't load font name:font101 file:/home/banane/XBMC/media/Fonts/FrancophilSans.ttf
(... and some more lines of this)

xbmc.log says:
22:03:47 T:3073513248 M:161648640 ERROR: Couldn't load font name:font101 file:/home/banane/XBMC/media/Fonts/FrancophilSans.ttf
(... and some more lines of this)

No text at all is displayed within XBMC. No debug text (freemem and that stuff), no running news.

j) so, I search and copy that Font to the named directory: cp skin/Project\ Mayhem\ III/fonts/FrancophilSans.ttf media/Fonts/

k) execute again: ./XboxMediaCenter

console says:
Loading fonts from /home/banane/XBMC/skin/Project Mayhem III/PAL/Font.xml
Scaled size of font /home/banane/XBMC/media/Fonts/FrancophilSans.ttf (14): width = 16, height = 17
(... and some more lines of this)

xbmc.log does not give any font error anymore.

XBMC only displays debug text and running news, but still no menu, fields, values, anything else.
The running news are only funny on the top of the screen and all small letters are slipping to the top line as far as they can without disappearing!

l) As I already said: when I take/copy another old binary these font problems disappear within the same source tree!

And as already said, too: I already played with build.sh, too, with another XBMC file set, but no success. Always the same result.

What do you think? What did I wrong? As far as I can see, I read everything!? Do you need any other detailed information? Result from configure, compile, screenshots, more system-infos?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Detailed information is following (have to split it).

SDL only (no GL) font support is hacked at best - noone has worked on it for quite some time.

I made it build, but didn't bother making it work, as we require openGL for a good experience in the GUI anyway.

Feel free to work on it so that it actually positions correctly. You can probably see what to do from the opengl side of things.

Cheers,
Jonathan

O.k. 2d is no real goal, but it worked before! Don't know exactly when it stopped.

Better alternative for me, too, is, getting opengl work. But how? What do I have to do? I get a segmentation fault?

[webbanane]

Here is, what console said till segmentation fault (with opengl when starting from source(!) tree). But I'm not sure what I did alltogether to get this binary. I will retry tomorrow from scratch for it.

Make sure you have the latest OpenGL drivers installed for your graphics card (and that they are being used). Also make sure that you are running X with at least 24 bit depth.

You should never see this error:
ERROR: GLX Error: No compatible framebuffers found

[althekiller]

$ cd /path/to/xbmc/code
$ svn revert -R *
$ rm Makefile
$ ./build.sh
$ cd BUILD
$ ./XboxMediaCenter

Make sure there is no system/profiles.xml in your source tree before you do that. You should NEVER run the binary from the source tree. If the above doesn't work for you there is something wrong with your setup. Check the opengl is in fact functioning correctly.

[webbanane]

Thanks to all, it works.

I'm new to ubuntu. (Still like Suse more.) I already installed a package, but it did not change anything obviously. Now, looked around again, found "restricted" driver, tried, installed "remaining" part, reboot, tried xbmc 3d, works extremly fast (especially compared to 2d ;-)

But I think it is still a pitty, if 2d does not work anymore e.g. with the VM.

Cheers,
webbanane

[webbanane]

Why NEVER run from source tree? (Stupid question?)

[jmarshall]

It's simply due to name changes (case sensitivity) being required in SVN.

Once we standardize the case sensitivity it should be OK to run from SVN.

[althekiller]

I still wouldn't run from source tree after that, don't need it littered with the files XBMC creates. The build script makes it easy enough to not run it there anyway.

[webbanane]

At least, I would NEVER do it, if I had write access to svn! :;): (But I have not. :nod:)

[mrkrad]

/home/banane/XBMC/UserData:
ln -s /home/banana/XBMC/userdata /home/banana/XBMC/UserData

franco font:
cp /home/banane/XBMC/skin/Project\ Mayhem\ III/fonts/FrancophilSans.ttf /home/banane/XBMC/media/Fonts/

btw make sure your user you run the program as (mrkrad for me) is the same user you are building with so perms are cool. ie don't sudo su - and build everything, then just nail the XboxMediaCenter from your GNOME and it should pop. or run it from terminal.

[althekiller]

I give up... :no:

[gfairbanks]

I had font problems as described here. I updated the svn today and copied the font as suggested and things are working again. Thanks.
