pt1230's Issues

Text mode

Look into using fontconfig to get some kind of bitmapped font data going in order to print text directly

PT-2430 Cut Before Label

When using the Brother software the PT-2430 will cut off the excess leading tape before the label prints. Is there a way to get pt1230 to do the same? Using pt1230 it does cut the label after the label prints but not the excess before the label.

make: freetype-config: Command not found

I cloned the repo in to a folder on my computer, and it is spitting out a couple different errors related to FreeType

make: freetype-config: Command not found
make: freetype-config: Command not found
cc -Wall -g     textlabel.c   -lfontconfig -o textlabel
textlabel.c:4:10: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ft2build.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [<builtin>: textlabel] Error 1

I am running Arch Linux, along with freetype2 2.9.1 and fontconfig 2.13.0 packages updated and installed on my system.

Fonts are not showing up on textlabel output

I get the folling warning when compiling

CC=/usr/bin/cc make
/usr/bin/cc -Wall -g    pt1230.c   -o pt1230
/usr/bin/cc -Wall -g -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/sysprof-4 -pthread     textlabel.c  -lfreetype  -lfontconfig -o textlabel
textlabel.c: In function 'line_store':

   52 |         if(!((*lines) + size)){
      |            ^

The Output only shows a square. However some characters like >,",! get rendered

./textlabel --font "Arial" -- "T"

Nothing is printing

When I run like:

sudo ./pt1230 -v 0 -f testing.file -u

testing.file is generated with:

./textlabel testing > testing.file

output:

nothing happened. Any ideas?

Making this work with android

It would be nice to have a way to use this label printer on Android. The protocol seems simple enough, but I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
