wxsvg, dvdstyler and wrong size of text boxes


Hi everbody,

I would like to use dvdstyler to author my dvds. The Problem is, that dvdstyler doesn't render the text right. Which means: if I enter a text box only the first few characters are displayed left of and in the red box border. I tested it with several fonts and serveral sizes. The effect remains the same.

I tracked it down to wxsvg which renders the text, right? wxsvg uses cairo by default for rendering. So I tried to switched to libart and afterwards to agg.
With libarts the text renders fine but dvdstyler crashes with a segmentation fault at the beginning of encoding the disk.
With agg wxsvg won't compile.

Here is what I did: I compiled different versions of wxsvg (1.1.5 and 1.1.8) and dvdstyler (2.1 and 2.2) the effect is the same.

Compiling wxsvg:
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-render=cairo|libart|aag
make
make install
Compiling dvdstyler:
Code:
sed -i 's/vsink_buffer.h/buffersink.h/' src/mediatrc_ffmpeg.cpp
./configure --prefix=/usr
sed -i 's/libwxvilla.a/libwxvilla.a \/usr\/lib\/libjpeg.so.8/' src/Makefile
make
make install
(the sed lines are from the default pkgbuild which must remain to compile fine)

Or in short: does anybody know how to get dvdstyler working?

Im using archlinux with gnome 3.4.

Any recommendations?

ToK

After all I tried to compile cairo with ubuntu patches. This forces to compile fontconfig and libxft with ubuntu-patches, too. This makes no difference to the font rendering in DVDStyler.

Hi ToK... did you resolve this? I have the same issue.

I am running Ubuntu (12.10) Studio 64 bit, DVDStyler 2.3.5, wxsvg 1.1.9.

It's driving me crazy.

Thanks, Dave.
