glyph

I need to use a unicode character that looks like a padlock. It's for a button below a form that says "CopyLink __" with a padlock on it, to indicate that when they copy the link of the page they are on, the person going to the "copylink _" version of the page will not be able to modify the form. Anyway, I've looked around -- this page has a lot of miscellaneous unicode symbols, but after the the musical sharp note the rest of the symbols do not load. this link says that I should be able to generate a padlock symbol with ALT+1F513 .. which ends up being this symbol ♪, not a lock. I've learned

This snippet can be used for drawing CGGlyphs with a CGContext. //drawing let coreGraphicsFont = CTFontCopyGraphicsFont(coreTextFont, nil) CGContextSetFont(context, coreGraphicsFont); CGContextSetFontSize(context, CTFontGetSize(coreTextFont)) CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, Color.blueColor().CGColor) CGContextShowGlyphsAtPositions(context, glyphs, positions, length) But how do I obtain the CGGlyphs from a swift string which contains emoji symbols like flags or accented characters? let string = "swift: \u{1F496} \u{65}\u{301} \u{E9}\u{20DD} \u{1F1FA}\u{1F1F8}" Neither of these

What is a glyph and what do we use it for especially in context of silverlight and xaml? Glyphs are a low-level depiction of a character to be drawn on-screen. A good article on them is available on MSDN: Introduction to the GlyphRun Object and Glyphs Element . Posting a link for you read, I think it is better than simply rehashing the information in my answer (it has pictures and links for further reading). See the following MSDN article for info on Glyphs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb979862(VS.95).aspx you can also see more examples here: http://www.wynapse.com/Silverlight

I'm trying to figure out a way to extract the information encoded in ttf files. namely: The char-to-glyph table and the individual glyph path data. Does anyone have a good reference explaining the ttf file structure, or some other solution? Keep in mind that I'm not interested in any libraries that can do it for me either (unless they are open source and I can see how they are doing it). The "master" goal is to implement it in Javascript. Thanks! Take a look at OpenType.js at http://opentype.js.org/ opentype.js provides you with raw access to the glyphs so you can modify them as you please.

Issue for text elements that are adjacent to icon elements, the glyph height is not aligned with the icon height. the text elements are styled by CSS with font-size: 20px; and have consistent width for all their instances. here's an illustration: for the above case, the text should have the same height as the icon. Motivation finding a way to make the letters a bit taller to take up the available vertical space, while keeping the font-size as is. how to do that? What have I tried? to increase the font-size a bit, but came to conclusion i'll have to compromise for a smaller icon if I can't

I dont like to ask too many questions in relation to the appearance of components, but these days appearance in Applications seems just as important. Anyway, please see the below images: Both are using the TActionManager and TActionMainMenuBar to create my main menu. The menu in the left of the image is using the Platform Default Style, the menu on the right is using the XP style defined by my TActionManager. Notice how when the left menu is highlighted, the glyph remains the same which is perfect. Now look at the XP style menu on the right, the glyph draws a drop shadow, pops out slightly and

For an application I need to draw text/glyphs as a vector based path. Using GDI+ GraphicsPath and Graphics.DrawPath or WPF FormattedText and Geometry works fine and I get the output as shown in the first picture. But is it somehow possible to get letters as a single line path as shown in the second picture (shows an L). I'm glad if anyone has an idea. See this example. Using built-in function will always give you the path of a letter containing it's inner and outer borderline. Only the first one is made of single strokes which results in a much shorter path. drankin2112 Single stroke fonts
