MorphOS: TTEngine2 0.17
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released version 0.17 of his TrueType rendering library TTEngine2, used by the KHTML browser Sputnik.

Three additional output modules for the AGRB32, RGB24 and BGR24 pixel modes of CyberGraphX are included. These should cover all Voodoo and Permedia graphics cards. However, since the author possesses none of these cards, this is still untested.

Users of the beta version of Sputnik, who did not see any text on 24 bit screens, should switch to the current version of TTEngine2. For this, simply unpack the archive and copy the new library over your old ttengine2.library in the LIBS: directory and restart the computer.

Please send bug reports to the author under "krashan at teleinfo dot pb dot edu dot pl" and, if necessary, consult the corresponding thread at MorphZone, too.

Download: ttengine2-0.17.lha (82 KB)

Update: (12.11.2006, 20:40, cg)

By now Version 2.0.17 is available, which aims to fix a color problem on 24 bit screens on Permedia 2 based graphic cards. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Aber auch Workshops zu Relaise-Karten am Amiga oder zu WHDLoad fehlt in diesem Heft nicht.

In dieser Ausgabe machen wir einen kleinen Abstecher in die C64 Welt. Wir haben C64 Emulatoren sowie die C64 Classix 2 getestet und natürlich darf ein Interview mit Protovision nicht fehlen.

Eine ausführliche Vorschau sowie Leseproben findet ihr auf unserer Webseite.

Da es die letzte Ausgabe in diesem Jahr ist haben wir ein kleines Geschenk auf der LeserCD. Neben vielen Vollversionen für den Amiga (ApanoSin, Breathless, Conquestador, Erben des Throns, Fools Errand, Labyrinth of Time, Magic Island (ungetestet), Manager, NewTracker AHI, T-Racer, The World Of Magic 1, The World Of Magic 2) findet ihr dort auch über 100 Vollversionen für den C64, sozusagen als kleine Ergänzung zu unserem Ausflug in die Welt des C64. Außerdem gibt es einige Musikstücke von Andreas Stürmer, AmiKit 120 inkl. Tutorial Videos und vieles vieles mehr.

Die Amiga Future ist als Einzelheft und im Abo erhältlich. Das Heft ist direkt bei der Redaktion und im Amiga Fachhandel (z.b. Alinea, Vesalia, GGS-Data...) erhältlich. (cg) (Translation: aj)
