Analysis

Overview

• There should be easy way for the user to change fonts. This functionality should appear in character settings hud and detached text frame editor.
• User should be able to chose font name(Helvetica, Arial etc.) and font face(heavy, medium, oblique, gothic, regular etc.)

Task requirements

• Add 2 combo boxes in character settings hud and detached frame editor, one for font name and one for font face.

Task result

• The result should be code.

Implementation idea

• Currently we use swing-based java component for font selection(JFontChooser). See if we can use some of it's functionality.
• You can use org.sophie2.main.view.boundcontrols.BoundComboBox
• Use java.awt.Font to provide needed fonts data.

How to demo

• Run the application
• Create a new book and place text frame inside
• Populate some lorem ipsum text inside with a number of paragraphs(lorem ipsum generator --> ​http://www.lipsum.com/)
• Select part of the text, open character settings hud and change the font.

Design

New module will be created - org.sophie2.main.func.text - that will contain all frames, halos, huds etc. related to HotText. In this module a new halo menu will be created and it will contain:

• combo box for font name

Fonts can be gathered with the following fragment:

GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();

String []fontFamilies = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();

• combo box for font size
• toggle buttons for styling - italic, bold, underline, strikethrough

When the user select font family name, size and style, they will be added to the HotText using the Styler interface (HotText.Styler#addStyle) by using an empty HotStyleDef and derive from it the HotStyleDef that is needed (HotStyleDef.EMPTY_STYLE#derive). Then the appropriate visualization is a job of HotTextLayout.

Every single text unit (a glyph) is drawn by the Atom class. So the conversion of HotStyleDef to a java.awt.Font object should be made there.

Implementation

Implementation is done according to the design

Also some bugs fixed:

• when navigating through text with arrow keys now you don't get "Position not in text!" error when you are at text start and press left key

Changesets:

• 3255
• 3256

Merged in the trunk in [3363].
