Rotating Text gives ugly results
« on: August 07, 2011, 12:24:45 pm »
Hello, I have just pulled the latest changes in the git repo and they seem to have made rotating Text very ugly.



Here I made the Text bigger:



This only happens with angles which are not multiples of 90.

Is there any way to go back to the previous behaviour?

It seems like smoothing is not enabled. I'll check the source code, thanks for your feedback.

It was a bug in the latest commit, it's fixed now.

Thanks. It's back to how it was previously now. I have noticed another small issue with rotation. An artifact, a small dot:

Rotation: 36.2624


I will try rounding my angle maybe that will remove that artifact. Although I think this is still a bug.

EDIT: No, that doesn't help.

Hmm, this one is weird. Does it appear on every character?

That artifact kind of looks like the end of the @'s tail. Laurent, is there any way it might be looping the character around?
I use the latest build of SFML2

It seems to happen with every character. Although I only tested a few. It even happens with sentences, there is always a small dot somewhere around the first character.

This is confusing. Does it happen on every character, or only the first one of the string?

No, this can't happen.

I'm pretty sure he means 'it happens to the first character of the sentence no matter what character that is.'

Yes. Sorry. I should have been more clear.

I tested single characters at first and the dot appeared on all of the characters that I tested.

I then tested a couple of sentences, and only the first character of the sentence has that dot.
