Recently, when chasing the font size differences between the wayland and xcb Qt backends, I ended up normalizing on the wayland sizing when bypassing the backend's font metrics calculation (#272). Unfortunately, the wayland backend was not rendering the font sizes correctly, and it was a mistake to duplicate its behavior. * Assume a virtual DPI of 72 pixels/in instead of 96 when compulting font size - Based on testing, this produces the correct font size - Updated reference labels. * No longer need to scale fonts when importing glabels-3 files. - The glabels-3 font sizes were correct afterall! (#306) - No longer need to compensate for scale factor in unit tests when importing glabels-3 files.
Important
This repo is for glabels-qt, NOT the legacy glabels-3 version (which I have not maintained since 2018).
What is gLabels-qt?
gLabels-qt is the development version of the next major version of gLabels (a.k.a. glabels-4).
What's new in gLabels 4?
- A complete rewrite, based on the Qt6 framework.
- A new UI layout based on common activities.
- Cross-platform support
- User-defined variables
- Support for continuous-roll labels
- Many new product templates
Download
Latest Release
There are currently no official releases of gLabels 4.
Continuous Integration Snapshots
Currently there are no self-hosted binary snapshot releases available. I plan to make these available again once 4.0 is more imminent. In the mean time, I encourage you to try building the code yourself.
