c# - How to draw every characters with spritefont in monogame -


i'm new monogame, , i'm trying make .spritefont file in order draw string font choose.

strings english characters can show on screen, wish draw strings in multiple languages, japanese , chinese.

so, tried load characters in multi language font "microsoft jhenghei".

the font's first character !(u+0021) , last 1 ￮(u+ffee).

but when tried compile program, compiler gave me error:

.../content/myfont.spritefont : error : importer 'fontdescriptionimporter' had unexpected failure!

system.reflection.targetinvocationexception: exception has been thrown target of invocation. ---> system.argumentexception: characterregion.end must greater characterregion.start

at microsoft.xna.framework.content.pipeline.graphics.fontdescription.set_characterregions(characterregion[] value)

and when changed ￮ 忮, msbuild stucks , takes forever proceed content.

code in myfont.spritefont below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xnacontent xmlns:graphics="microsoft.xna.framework.content.pipeline.graphics">   <asset type="graphics:fontdescription">     <fontname>microsoft jhenghei</fontname>     <size>14</size>     <spacing>0</spacing>     <usekerning>true</usekerning>     <style>regular</style>     <characterregions>       <characterregion>         <start>&#x0021;</start>         <end>&#xffee;</end>       </characterregion>     </characterregions>   </asset> </xnacontent>

i searched solution few days in vain, appreciated.

since processing 65 thousand characters takes time. should process characters using.

so easiest way make monogame custom content pipeline , load characters using .resx files.

it took me time searching solution. i'll post how did succeed, hope can has same question in future.

step-by-step tutorial

  1. create class library.

  2. reference monogame.framework.content.pipeline.portable package using nuget. (make sure checked include prerelease checkbox )

  3. download localizationsample here , unzip file.

  4. under localizationpipeline\ copy localizedfontdescription.cs , localizedfontprocessor.cs class library

  5. build class library outputs localizationpipeline.dll file.

  6. open myfont.spritefont , change asset type localizationpipeline.localizedfontdescription

  7. then add resources <resourcefiles><resx>..\strings.resx</resx></resourcefiles> (these files should contain string want draw)

  8. open content.mgcb , reference localizationpipeline.dll

  9. set myfont.spritefont's processor localizedfontprocessor

  10. rebuild project.

myfont.spritefont

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xnacontent xmlns:graphics="microsoft.xna.framework.content.pipeline.graphics">   <asset type="localizationpipeline.localizedfontdescription">     <fontname>microsoft jhenghei</fontname>     <size>14</size>     <spacing>0</spacing>     <usekerning>true</usekerning>     <style>regular</style>     <characterregions>       <characterregion>         <start>&#32;</start>         <end>&#126;</end>       </characterregion>     </characterregions>     <resourcefiles>       <resx>..\strings.resx</resx>     </resourcefiles>   </asset> </xnacontent>

content.mgcb

... #-------------------------------- references --------------------------------#  /reference:..\localizationpipeline.dll  #---------------------------------- content ---------------------------------# ... #begin myfont.spritefont /importer:fontdescriptionimporter /processor:localizedfontprocessor /build:myfont.spritefont ...

Unlimited choices in BASH case statement -

consider simple bash snippet: case $option in 1) image=${options[0]%.tar} ;; 2) image=${options[1]%.tar} ;; 3) image=${options[2]%.tar} ;; 4) image=${options[3]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" exit 1 esac in real script numbers goes 30. makes pretty long. can somehow specify cases variable? something this: case $option in $i) image=${options[$(($i-1))]%.tar} any pointer appreciated. you can match against multiple patterns in single clause: case $option in 1|2|3: echo "$option one, 2 or three" ;; esac if still typing you, can use simple pattern matching: case $option in # following matches # - single-digit numbers 0-9 # - two-digit numbers starting either 1 or 2 # - number 30 [0-9]|[12][0-9]|30) image=${options[$(($option-1))]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" 1>&2 exit 1 esac

apache - How do I stop my index.php being run twice for every user -

we've got webapp initial html served using apache , php. i noticed index.php being run twice every request. seems caused / effected rewrite rules in our .htaccess - rewritecond %{http_host} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc,or] rewritecond %{server_name} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc] rewriterule (.*) http://ourdomain.com/$1 [r=301] rewriterule ^hotels/([^/]+)/?\??(.*)$ ?d=$1&$2 [qsa] the final rule moving parameter url path query string. i.e. http://ourdomain.com/hotels/vegas?someparam=1 becomes http://ourdomain.com?d=vegas&someparam=1 if go directly query string version index.php run once. if use url redirected, index.php run twice (i'm checking adding error_log('end of index.php') file). so example going http://ourdomain.com/hotels/paris hits file twice http://ourdomain.com?d=paris hits once. i've seen this question , had @ blog mentioned , , can't find empty string url's (i've tried using yslow process). ...
