Can you get a list of OSX fonts somehow?
-
You got data back from
fc-listusing SketchUp Ruby??? ... but using a full path, that's the only change? -
fontList=(/usr/local/bin/fc-list : family)returned nothing on my machine. -
@tig said:
So you HAVE got
fc-listto work after all!
Don't you need to include 'file' in the output as well as 'family' and grep for '.ttf' because 3dText needs a /ttf and the 'family only' way might also list .otf fonts etc too, which 3dText might baulk at ?YES... using fontList=(
**/opt/X11/bin/fc-list** : file family | grep \/Library\/Fonts), but just to avoid X11 fonts, otherwise, all types [.ttf, otf, ttc] returned, work in SU [tested last weekend], so /Library/Fonts filter is OK.@unknownuser said:
If the 'grep' inside the MAC OS side is slower than doing a 'next unless f=~/.ttf: /' on the Ruby side, then you can add it into the 'collect' block instead...
it's the core dump size that slows things down
IF YOU HAVE IT INSTALLED...
> t=Time.now fontList=(/opt/X11/bin/fc-list : file family `)
fin=Time.now-t
puts fontList.length
puts fin138048
0.055793
nilBut,**%(#0040FF)[IF YOU HAVE IT INSTALLED...]**> t=Time.now
fontList=(/usr/local/bin/fc-list : file family)

puts fontList.length
puts fin22832

nilt=Time.now
fontList=(/usr/local/bin/fc-list : family)
fin=Time.now-t
puts fontList.length
puts fin5921
0.016585
nil`
now I've realised the full path bit, there may be other ways without using fc-list...

You are using these paths:
/opt/X11/bin/fc-list
/usr/local/bin/fc-listThat didn't work for me (10.5). But this worked:
/usr/X11/bin/fc-listAre any of the paths working across OSX versions?
-
So, because I've had problems even getting the data I've ignored the fact that you've been also getting the filename and grepping out by path. What is the reason for this. So you only get fonts that works in SketchUp?

hi TT,
I did PM before I saw this, I would split it into 3 conditional blockthe first would use /usr/local/bin/fc-list
if you revisit http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=48761&p=443899#p441686 you'll see that you don't need to grep /usr/local/bin/fc-list, because it avoids the system and X11 fonts already.second choose last in
find /**/bin/fc-listarray, for the latest X11 versionthird default to 'FontBook' it's on every mac....

Isn't fc-list on every mac?

TT... don't you read PM's or the posts... [I am laughing]
reminds me of when you answer some of your 'clients'
The whole reason I went round in circles is fc=list has never been 'standard' on a mac.
a lot of people use to have xcode and it came with that as part of fontconfig for X11,
or if you have Wings3D, Gimp, Inkscape or Imagemagics you'd have it, so a few SU'ers will. but they all have FontBook it's a mac core app....

TO RECAP
This is the fastest I can get a usable list from X11
if I remove.split[-2]fromfontPathit uses /usr/local/bin and is twice as fast, same result... so the one could be used for any fc-list installed, without hardcoding a path.fontPath=(`find /*/*/bin/fc-list`).split[-2] fontList=(`#{fontPath} ; file family | grep \/Library\/Fonts`).split("\n").collect { |f| f.split(";")[1] }.collect { |f| f.split(",")[0].strip}.to_a.uniq.compact.sort[5..-5]the
.sort[5..-5]cleans out the dot files at top and some other cruft the the bottom...

EDIT: I missed a .strip that stop them running... leading whitespace.
on test a couple are getting through that shouldn't

I've become so confused on this whole topic.
@driven said:

fontPath=(find ///bin/fc-list).split[-2]
That command was very slow on my mac.@driven said:

Can you be sure this is the same on all machines? I'm hesitant to use magic numbers.OSX is giving me headackes in regard to this plugin. I'm tempted to just drop it all together. Taking too much time.
At the moment I'm looking at first attempting
fc-list, if it's installed. (Might have to do a search - so I have to cache that.) Then fall back to AppleScript and FontBook - also slow so it also needs a cache list (meaning the list won't automatically keep in sync.)sigh
And that's not including the crashing...

TT, maybe you want to move this, but
I was looking for a UFT8 font filter and came across a simple test code for checking console encoding.I thought Ruby Console was UFT8, but it's not?
I made a little test script, and ran it both from console and from plugins.
same result from both...> msg = (`perl -Mcharnames=;full -CS -wle 'print "\N{EURO SIGN}"'`).to_s puts msg rply = (`locale`).to_s puts rply result = UI.messagebox msg, MB_YESNO if result == 6 # Yes UI.messagebox("Sketchup dosen't use UFT8, it uses \n" + rply) end N{EURO SIGN} LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL= 1for comparison Terminal.app results

It's UTF-8.
Test example:
'ΓΈ'.unpack('C*')Returns:
[195, 184]Which is the correct byte values in UTF-8 encoding.
195 indicate the Latin1 page 184 points to ΓΈ on that page.
Don't know what the data you got from them commands where. But just by looking at the test data byte per byte you can tell it's UTF-8.
-
yes that does return correctly,
which is why I can't understand why some thing get lost in transition...
Top happens from Ruby Console as well as WebDialogs
Bellow is the Built in Tool

hm... I've not have any problems with it.
Do you see this in the 3d text plugin I sent you?
-
@thomthom said:

Top one... I was being discrete
` > a = "2ζμ£Ί".unpack('C*')
b = a.pack('C*')
c = puts a.inspect
puts b.inspect[50, 230, 146, 150, 236, 163, 186]
"2ζμ£Ί"
nil`
the puts should read [0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250] "2ζμ£Ί" -
Why are you using "C*" in the unpack and pack - doesn't that extract a character as an unsigned integer.
Shouldn't it be "U*" - which extracts UTF-8 characters as unsigned integers ? -
Because I actually want to see each byte. Not the Unicode ID.

@driven said:

?
Where are these numbers from?Why are you expecting a NULL byte? (That's usually a string termination in C.)
