osd char scaling sometimes incorrect

[Mark Spieth]

the osd char spacing is sometimes incorrect. notably SD dvb res 720x576 16:9 images being displayed on 16:9 displays.

scaling does not occur correctly for most ttfonts. FT_Set_Char_Size does not work on fonts which dont have narrow and wide versions embedded. Thus FT_Set_Transform is needed to do it mathematically.

This has been tested with Retro-OSD and Gray-OSD and results are good. I believe this is the correct way to do horizontal scaling.

I can confirm that this fixes some OSD font spacing glitches that I was seeing on (I think) 16:9 images being displayed on a 4:3 display.

ust tried this. whoops for joy. this works! for the first time in so very long i can read the OSD without trouble.

i tried the following OSDs to make sure. in most case if just went through 4:3 and 16:9 and tried at least two fill modes. for some i checked all. but it really seems to be fixed.

Retro, Titivillus, blootube-OSD, Blue, Default, Gray, Isthmus, Iulius, MePo?-wide, Metallurgy, projectgrayhem-OSD.

so it works for "official" as well as "user supplied" OSD themes.

for Retro i tried all fill modes. for Isthmus i tried all aspect ratios. for projectgraphem-OSD i tried all combinations of both.

this was on a 16:10 display. will try later on a real 16:9 display. i don't have a 4:3 to test it with

could this be applied to trunk?

thank you so much

Having suffered from this for a while I thought i'd test it out. Seeing that it works just fine it's going in.
