DESCRIPTION
The wsfont module is a component of the wscons framework to provide
access to display fonts. Fonts may be loaded dynamically into the kernel
or included statically in the kernel at compile time. Display drivers
which emulate a glass-tty console on a bit-mapped display can add, remove
and find fonts for use by device-dependent blitter operations.
The primary data type for manipulating fonts is the wsdisplay_font
structure in <dev/wscons/wsconsio.h>:
struct wsdisplay_font {
char name[WSFONT_NAME_SIZE]; /* font name */
int index;
int firstchar;
int numchars; /* size of font table */
int encoding; /* font encoding */
u_int fontwidth; /* character width */
u_int fontheight; /* character height */
u_int stride;
int bitorder;
int byteorder;
void *cookie;
void *data; /* pointer to font table */
};
The maximum font table size is WSDISPLAY_MAXFONTSZ.
The wsfont framework supports fonts with the following encodings:
WSDISPLAY_FONTENC_ISO
ISO-encoded fonts.
WSDISPLAY_FONTENC_IBM
IBM-encoded fonts commonly available for IBM CGA, EGA and VGA
display adapters.
FUNCTIONS
wsfont_init(void)
Initialise the font list with the built-in fonts.
wsfont_find(name, width, height, stride)
Find the font called name from the fonts loaded into the kernel.
The font aspect is specified by width, height, and stride. If
wsfont_find() is called with any of the parameters as 0, it
indicates that we don't care about that aspect of the font. If
the font is found, a (nonnegative-valued) cookie is returned
which can be used with the other functions.
When more flexibility is required, wsfont_enum() should be used.
wsfont_add(font, copy)
Add a font font to the font list. If the copy argument is non-
zero, then the font is physically copied, otherwise a reference
to the original font is made.
wsfont_remove(cookie)
Remove the font specified by cookie from the font list. The
value of cookie was returned by wsfont_add().
wsfont_enum(callback, cbarg)
Enumerate the list of fonts. For each font in the font list,
the callback function argument is called with the cbarg
argument.
wsfont_lock(cookie, ptr, bitorder, byteorder)
Lock access to the font specified by cookie so that it cannot be
unloaded from the kernel while it is being used. If the bit or
byte order of the font to be locked differs from what has been
requested via the bitorder and byteorder arguments, then the
glyph data will be modified to match.
The address of the wsdisplay_font pointer for the specified font
is returned in the ptr argument.
wsfont_lock() returns lockcount on success, or an error code on
failure.
wsfont_unlock(cookie)
Unlock the font specified by cookie. Returns lockcount on
success, or an error code on failure.
wsfont_map_unichar(font, c)
Remap the unicode character c to glyph for font font. Returns
the glyph on success or -1 on error.
