Added the is_a_really_crappy_nvidia_card() call in BMF_DrawString(), this to solve a bug in NVidia 6800 drivers of MacOSX G5. It is #ifdeffed for OSX only, and queries for a NVidia 6800 card to activate the patch. The issue is that these drivers forgot to correctly implement viewport() offset for drawing bitmap fonts, causing text display in Blender to be invisible, except for the leftmost/bottom sub window. This hack will be removed when Apple releases a driver upgrade, which is unknown when to happen. Has to be decided still if this is worth for a release, or that we provide the hack as separate download. Thanks Randall Rickert for all testing, and Daniel for code review! :)
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
