bah.cairo text examples hangsC
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/bah.cairo text examples hangsC
I'm trying out one of Brucys excellent modules but the text examples hangs.
As far as I can tell, it's at the cairo.ShowText ( "Hello") calls.
As far as I can debug it's where cairo.bmx calls cairo_show_text(contextPtr, cStr)
This test is on windows XP.
Is there something I can do?
No i have the same problem.
It's cairo library module that slow slow down.
Wait one moment then it will display the text.
Hey! You're right. It dosn't hang, it's just very very slow.
Bummer.
Hallo,
I believe it's a problem with fontconfig (the lib it uses to gather font information).
There is a newer version which states its startup/performance is much improved.
I need to look into it.
Sorry for the problems.
Any news on this? Its a weird error.
It worked flawlesly for me the last months and now all te sudden the first time i use a text command it takes a minute or so to load.
I'll try and make some time over the weekend to get things updated to the latest versions - which will hopefully help with the problems.
That would be really great! Thanks alot!
Well. not to nag or anything but im just sitting here thinking wich way my project shall go. I would love to use cairo fully but since i cant move on on my own here with this problem so i might have to change direction to something alot less elegant :( Anyway im just wondering if there is any progress with this.
