[LDPE] 1.8.64 Released (rectifier defaults / usability / txt2dat)

Thanks Nils!

I made some tests of the new version of Txt2Dat, there are still a few things I don't like  Big Grin
  • Why use direct colors for text/background instead of LDraw codes such as 0 / 15 ?
  • Why is there sooo many vertices in straight portions of letter shapes? Eg. in Arial, "L" should have a total of 6 vertices... Increasing "interpolate flatness" improves the result, but the vertices issue is not solved before other problems appear.
  • There's a glitch in "w" top (Arial font, default parameters).
  • It would be great to display currently used font name
  • The result would be much more easy to use if the text was completely included in background, adding a small margin on all sides (only the 4 corner vertices to manage)
  • Parameter "min angle between line segments" seem to have no action?

Maybe have a look at Ross Crawford work? source is public here https://roscohead.id.au/txt2dat
