ABACOM - ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE

As Sprint-Layout v6.0 2022 version have already supported plugin interface, I developed a plugin named sprintFont which features includes:
1. Import footprint from Kicad/EasyEDA
2. Insert text of other fonts (any chars in ttf/otf font files)
3. Insert simple svg image
4. Inser Qrcode
5. Auto-routing (added in v1.3)

1. Install plugin
1.1 Just decompress sprintFont to a directory
1.2 open Sprint-Layout v6.0 2022 version, click menu "Extras" | "Define Plugin" , locate the sprintFont.exe
1.3 by clicking menu "Extras"|"Run Plugin" to execute the plugin.

The FONT section works great.
Very impressive!

Thanks @cdhigh

effective development for plugin system

Best regards

@cdhigh

Is it possible to develop for Turkish characters?



Setting SVG size larger would be nice Height (mm) 1.0.......50.0 between

Tkans

If you encounter problems, you can submit it on github (https://github.com/cdhigh/sprintFontRelease).
I can't read German and rarely come here.

first of all.
Would answer the issue about the height of SVG image, you can digit any size you want in combox, sprintFont will save the value you digited to config file.
In the next release, I can add more preset values for it, that is fine.

second.
About characters,

I exported the content of font "Agency FB" to human-readable xml format (refers to attachment),
the xml file show that the font contains two cmap tables (character map)

line 1583: cmap_format_0 platformID="1" platEncID="0" language="0"
line 1813: cmap_format_4 platformID="3" platEncID="1" language="0"

In these two cmap tables, I cannot found these chars (by char code), for this reason, sprintFont cannot draw them too. (A clever woman cannot cook without rice).
0x11E Ğ Uppercase "G" with breve accent gh1
0x130 İ Uppercase dotted "I"² i (as in "tree")
0x15E Ş Uppercase "S" with cedilla sh
0x11F ğ Lowercase "g" with breve accent gh1
0x131 ı Lowercase dotless "i"³ ou (as in "in")
0x15F ş Lowercase "s" with cedilla sh

You have to change to a font that contains these characters, for example Calibri or Consolas or others.
PS: you cannot use "microsoft word" to verify if a font contains a character or not, "microsoft word" would fallback to other fonts if a special code is missing in font file you selected.

Thank you so much @cdhigh
