After rendering our GraphUI MediaPlayer feature complete, also capable to use Chinese/CJK fallback fonts it was time for another round to fix our outstanding Graph Delaunay tessellation issues. Minimum goal was to at least have the Chinese/CJK fonts being readable – but gladly more has been achieved in the resolution for Bug 1501 as shown below.
First, let’s have a look how the GraphUI MediaPlayer looks now with fixed CJK font rendering and also fixed material-font for the buttons.
The solution was to apply intersection tests for non-convex shapes to reject new CCW and non-circumcircle triangulation candidates in our Delaunay tessellator.
The used Delaunay tessellation works well with (almost) convex shapes. In case e.g. a glyph gets to the extremes like ‘M’ in FreeMono or any other complex Chinese symbol – it may just simply happen that the new non-circumcircle triangle point crosses the inner (hole) or outer boundaries of the given polygon.
This results in mostly proper rendered Chinese fonts, see Droid Sans Fallback-Regular
Western glyphs with the usual fonts in regular mode are also in good shape now
Finally our problem font Free Mono is also readable by now
Last but not least a few bold font examples …
