The call to gtk_list_store_clear() in unifontsel_setup_familylist()
was causing a call to family_changed() via the GTK signal system,
which didn't happen in GTK2. family_changed() in turn was calling
unifontsel_select_font(), which got confused when the tree model
didn't match reality, and tried to access a bogus tree iterator.
This is easily fixed by using the existing fs->inhibit_response flag,
which prevents us responding to GTK events when we know they were
generated by our own fiddling about with the data; it's just that we
never needed to set it in unifontsel_setup_familylist() before.
Also, added a check of the return value from the key get_iter call in
unifontsel_select_font(), so that it'll at least fail an assertion
rather than actually trying to access bogus memory. But that operation
_should_ still always succeed, and if it doesn't, it's probably a sign
that we need another use of fs->inhibit_response.
It turns out that in GTK3, if you instantiate a GtkLabel and
immediately try to find out its preferred size, you get back zero for
both dimensions. Presumably none of that gets figured out properly
until the widget is displayed, or some such.
However, you can retrieve the PangoLayout from the label immediately
and ask Pango for the dimensions of that. That seems like a bit of a
bodge, but it works! The GTK3 unifont selector now comes out with all
the interface elements in sensible sizes - in particular, the preview
drawing area now has non-zero height.
The entire concept has gone away in GTK3, which assumes that everyone
is now using modern true-colour video modes and so there's no longer
any reason you shouldn't just casually make up any RGB triple you like
without bothering to ask the display system's permission.
GDK3 now spells both of those as GDK_WINDOW_XID. (Of course 'drawable'
is no longer a relevant concept in GDK3, since pixmaps are no longer
supported and so all drawables are just windows.) We keep backwards
compatibility, of course.
This replaces GTK 1/2's "expose_event", and provides a ready-made
cairo_t to do the drawing with. My previous work has already separated
all constructions of a cairo_t from the subsequent drawing with it, so
the new draw event handlers just have to call the latter without the
former.
I've just noticed the comment in gtkfont.c that said wouldn't it be
nice to find a way to avoid the GDK pixmap-stretching code when using
Pango fonts. We now do support this, but we support it in gtkwin.c
rather than gtkfont.c - because we do it using a Cairo transformation
matrix, so it still takes place at the level above Pango rather than
in Pango proper. (I never did find out whether Pango itself included
facilities to arbitrarily stretch a font.)
Hence, this comment is useless now. Discard.
We still don't actually support more than one X display active at
once, so it's sufficient to replace every call to that macro with
GDK_DISPLAY_XDISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default()).
We won't be able to use them in GTK3, or when compiling with GTK2 and
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
This applies to the one we use for the main terminal window, and also
the small one we use for the preview pane in the unified font selector.
Now it's got an inner half that does actual drawing given a draw
context, and an outer half that sets up and tears down the draw
context. Sooner or later the inner half will need calling
independently of the outer, because GTK3's draw event will provide a
ready-made cairo_t.
We're going to have to use Cairo in the GTK3 port, because that's all
GTK3 supports; but we still need old-style GDK for GTK1 support, and
also for performance reasons in GTK2 (see below). Hence, this change
completely restructures GTK PuTTY's drawing code so that there's a
central 'drawing context' structure which contains a type code
indicating GDK or Cairo, and then either some GDK gubbins or some
Cairo gubbins as appropriate; all actual drawing is abstracted through
a set of routines which test the type code in that structure and do
one thing or another. And because the type code is tested at run time,
both sets of drawing primitives can be compiled in at once, and where
possible, they will be.
X server-side bitmap fonts are still supported in the Cairo world, but
because Cairo drawing is entirely client-side, they have to work by
cheekily downloading each glyph bitmap from the server when it's first
needed, and building up a client-side cache of 'cairo_surface_t's
containing the bitmaps with which we then draw on the window. This
technique works, but it's rather slow; hence, even in GTK2, we keep
the GDK drawing back end compiled in, and switch over to it when the
main selected font is a bitmap one.
One visible effect of the new Cairo routines is in the double-width
and double-height text you can get by sending ESC # 3, ESC # 4 and
ESC # 6 escape sequences. In GDK, that's always been done by a really
horrible process of manually scaling the bitmap, server-side, column
by column and row by row, causing each pixel to be exactly doubled or
quadrupled. But in Cairo, we can just set a transformation matrix, and
then that takes effect _before_ the scalable fonts are rendered - so
the results are visibly nicer, and use all the available resolution.
(Sadly, if you're using a server-side bitmap font as your primary one,
then the GDK backend will be selected for all drawing in the terminal
as a whole - so in that situation, even fallback characters absent
from the primary font and rendered by Pango will get the old GDK
scaling treatment. It's only if your main font is scalable, so that
the Cairo backend is selected, that DW/DH characters will come out
looking nice.)
I was tacitly assuming that mfont->fallback would always be non-NULL,
which is true in a world containing Pango, but untrue in GTK1 when
Pango isn't there. In that situation we fall back to just omitting the
characters that would be displayed in the fallback font, on the
grounds that that's better than dereferencing through a NULL vtable.
Now that I've got a general place to centralise handling of at least
the simple differences between GTK 1 and 2, I should use it wherever
possible. So this commit removes just a small number of ifdefs which
are either obsoleted by definitions already in gtkcompat.h (like
set_size_request vs set_usize), or can easily be replaced by adding
another (e.g. gtk_color_selection_set_has_opacity_control).
Building with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, we now suffer only one compile
failure, for the use of gtk_quit_add() in idle_toplevel_callback_func.
That function is apparently removed with no replacement in GTK 3, so
I'll need to find a completely different approach to getting toplevel
callbacks to run only in the outermost instance of gtk_main().
Also, this change doesn't do anything about the use of *GDK*
deprecated functions, because those include the entire family of
old-style drawing functions - i.e. the only way to build cleanly with
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED will be to switch to Cairo drawing.
All the things like GtkType, GtkObject, gtk_signal_connect and so on
should now consistently have the new-style glib names like GType,
GObject, g_signal_connect, etc.
A major aim of introducing GTK 3 support is to permit compiling for
non-X11 platforms that GTK 3 supports, so I'm going to need to be able
to build as a pure GTK application with no use of X11 internals.
Naturally, I don't intend to stop supporting the hybrid GTK+X11 mode
in which X server-side bitmap fonts are available.
Use of X11 can be removed by compiling with -DNOT_X_WINDOWS. That's
the same compatibility flag that was already used by the unfinished OS
X port to disable the X-specific parts of uxpty.c; now it just applies
to more source files.
(There's no 'configure' option to set this flag at present. I haven't
worked out whether we'll need one yet.)
This is the first of several cleanup steps recommended by the GTK 2->3
migration guide.
I intend to begin work towards compatibility with GTK 3, but without
breaking GTK 2 and even GTK 1 compatibility in the process; GTK 2 is
still useful to _me_ (not least because it permits much easier support
of old-style server-side X11 fonts), and I recall hearing a rumour
that at least one kind of strange system can only run GTK 1, so for
the moment I don't intend to stop supporting either.
Including gdkkeysyms.h is not optional in GTK 2, because gdk.h does
not include it. In GTK 3 it does, so we don't explicitly reinclude it
ourselves.
We now build cleanly in GTK2 with -DGTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES. (But
that doesn't say much, because we did already! Apparently gdkkeysyms.h
was a special case which that #define didn't forbid.)
Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development,
I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the
whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of
const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now
goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as
close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to
occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not
having the right constness).
Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types:
- the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly
dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved.
- I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param()
const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case
where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least
slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily
dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function
- I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could
pass const string literals in to lookup functions.
- stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
code, which would have coped badly if ever asked to select the first
font in the list at a size smaller than it supported. Luckily the
first font tended to be one of the X numeric aliases (e.g. 10x20)
which was stored with size zero, so this probably didn't actually come
up for anyone, but better safe than sorry.

to Pango (which already has built-in fallback) in the case where the

font operations are now done directly using Xlib calls, and the only
interaction with GDK within the x11font mechanism is to get the X ids
for drawables, GCs and the X display itself.
This should remove an obstacle to porting to GTK3, and also makes the
XFontStruct for loaded fonts more readily available, which I hope will
come in handy for another plan I have in mind.

client- and server-side fonts into a single namespace was mainly to
hope there would naturally be no collisions, and to provide
disambiguating "client:" and "server:" prefixes for manual use in
emergencies.
Jacob points out, however, that his system not only has a namespace
clash but worse still the clash is at the name "fixed", which is our
default font! So, modify my namespace policy to use the
disambiguating prefixes everywhere by default, and use _unprefixed_
names only if the user types one in by hand.
In particular, I've changed the keys used to store font names in
Unix saved session files. Font names read from the new keys will be
passed straight to the new unifont framework; font names read from
the old keys will have "server:" prepended. So any existing
configuration file for GTK1 PuTTY should now work reliably in GTK2
PuTTY and select the same font, even if that font is one on which
your system (rather, your client+server combination) has a font
namespace clash.

showing aliases interacted badly with the default actual font
_being_ specified as an alias. One of those defaults had to change,

font selector: I had got the row and column counts in
gtk_table_new() back to front, so the space on the right was the
padding around five empty table columns! (And apparently a GtkTable
silently expands if you try to use rows that don't exist, which is
why I hadn't already noticed.)
Fixed that, and added some padding around the entire table. I think
my font selector is now finished, except for any bug fixes that come
up in testing.

either not called at all, or called with a name that didn't
correspond to any known font). In this situation we grey out the OK
button until a valid font is selected, and we have
unifontsel_get_name return NULL rather than failing an assertion if
it should be called in that state. The current client code in
gtkdlg.c should never encounter a NULL return, since it only calls
it after the OK button is clicked, but I've stuck an assertion in
there too on general principles.
