I must use text in Opengl, Python
This text is for architecture design then I need to use AutoCad fonts
(extension .shx).
I have two troubles:
I don't find a guide, a good program, something for use any kind of
fonts in PyOpengl. The nehe tutorial has some bugs in translation to
Python.
I need to scale rotate the text.
I don't know anything about handling fonts, I must use this .shx but I
don't know. In which way can I take this file and put them in my
programs?
In two afternoons in Google I don't find anything.
If somebody wants to help me :-)
Thanks.

For general font rendering you can choose two major approaches, either
use a built-in platform-Dependant system (such as seen in the NeHe
tutorial) or code your own to render the individual characters using
either one of the cross-platform GUI libraries (2D text) or TTFQuery
(3D/polygonal text (i.e. you can rotate in all 3 dimensions)). There is
a NeHe tutorial translation for the font-rendering demo in
OpenGLContext's tests directory. To render text in general, see the
OpenGLContext/scenegraph/text/* modules. However, none of those knows
how to handle .shx files, they load TTF fonts instead.
I don't know anything about handling fonts, I must use this .shx but I
don't know. In which way can I take this file and put them in my
programs?
If you can find a format specification you may be able to write an
importer (IIRC SHX fonts are just series of lines, so would be very easy
to render once you have the format read). You might find it easier to
redefine the process as "tell autocad to use truetype, then render
truetype" if whoever is asking for .shx will allow it.

Thanks.

When putting a picture with an alt-text to Internetexplorer, the content
of the ALT-Text is displayed when the mouse is moving over the picture.
This is not what I expected. The ALT-text should appear when the images
cannot be displayed but IE displays both. All other browers (firefox,
konqueror, safari ...) do well. This gets especially annoying if the
picture is actually displaying a text and the alt-text is the same text
and you see...

Poking around in the PyOpenGL tarball... I can see that the wrapper
for the WGL pixel format function includes flags for rendering to a
bitmap and for hardware acceleration... so maybe I could get
hardware-accelerated off-screen rendering under win32.. but what about
linux?

I recently noticed, once again, how the common implementation of italics can
really disturb. I'm referring to the common phenomenon that there is by
default too little spacing after italics text, so that if you have, say,

then the last "l" of "Bill" hits the "W" - they may even slighly overlap. I
noticed this long ago, and I discuss it briefly at

I'm a newbie to CSS, so be kind. :-)
I have looked at examples of CSS and have not seen this yet. How can
you change the colors of the text in the same word in CSS? For example,
when how can you take the word "infosystems" and make the "info" part
red, and the "systems" part blue? I don't want to have to hard-code
this in HTML which is why I'm looking to CSS to do this. Thanks!

Hello,
I am trying to use UI Automation to drive an MS Windows app (with pywinauto).
I need to scrape the app's window contents and use some form of OCR to get at

As an alternative to integrating an OCR engine, and since I know the fonts and
