How is HISE performance for you?

[ustk]

@Simon Most likely a Linux thing, I reckon @d-healey knows how to fix the lagginess on those alternative OS

[Simon]

@ustk I take it that you experience none of the above?

[ustk]

@Simon Nope, I'm not using linux, but this is something I remember seeing in the forum
Perhaps you can be lucky with a search, or wait for Dave

[d.healey]

@Simon Sounds like the old Linux font issue.

Add USE_LINUX_FONT_HANDLER=1 to your preprocessor definitions, and install the Source Code Pro font - https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/releases

Debug builds won't work with this enabled - I don't know why.
And you don't need to include it in your project's preprocessor definitions, it's just for HISE.

@ustk Sure, I was asking specifically to see if people not on Linux have the same issues, so I know if it's my system or HISE.

@Simon Performance is something HISE does really well (sometimes at the expense of all else), across the board. So the good news is that there's likely a fix for whatever you're experiencing. EDIT: Looks like @d-healey dialled that in.

@Simon Mm the same thing happens to me on Linux, and I even added the predefinition USE_LINUX_FONT_HANDLER=1
But I don't know, I'm new to Linux and maybe I did something wrong.

On a similar computer I have with Windows it works much more smoothly.

In the Jucer before building Hise or in the preferences?

[bendurso]

@ustk Jucer :)

[ustk]

@bendurso yeah sounded a bit naive but worth to ask

[d.healey]

@bendurso Try building my fork - https://github.com/davidhealey/HISE/tree/development

I use fftw so you'll need to disable that in the juicer file if you don't.

[Simon]

@bendurso Compiling with USE_LINUX_FONT_HANDLER=1 did improve things a lot for me. The first time I compiled I put it in the "Release" section of the jucer project, but as I was using David's fork there was already a definition in the parent "Linux Makefile" part that overwrote it. Maybe something similar for you?

fftw

As in the FFT algorithm?

[d.healey]

@clevername27 As in the library - http://fftw.org/download.html - it's a GPL friendly alternative to IPP.
