Title: font problem 2.5 latest (sept/03/13)
Post by: RealSpirit on September 04, 2013, 12:18:39 am
forgot: W7 / 64 bit | used full installer

what i had:

2.4 full
2.5 (June) installed in separate folder

what i did

installed new 2.5 on top of the June version, after having problems with resolution (lowest resolution for some reason) & font removed all, reinstalled latest version

after that i changed everything back to settings i used before, but the font problem still remains (looks like no TTF on wrong size, pixelized)

QUESTIONS

did you (devs) changed anything on behalf of fonts, or is it me, and if: how could i try to fix it?
Any ideas?

EDIT: explanation: every text smaller than the text of buttons is weird now, be it help text, text within the initial menu, numbers in any subpart of the main menu (employee, research, buy/sell, whatever)

hope this one works....


other things that came up:

- got no pictures of landed and crashed ufos on world map (only red cross instead)
- hospital is quite "filled" with workers, scientists, pilots and so on, all green. did that happen by intention?

I have the same font rendering problem (and startup on 320x200 resolution) on OS X 10.8 with 2.5 dev code pulled from git today.

Maybe something to do with SDL 2. Compiling with SDL 1 makes everything look fine.

Mhh, same thing here at Win8.1 64-bit. However, I did not have any problems with it - did not even noticed that till now.  ;)

other things that came up:

- got no pictures of landed and crashed ufos on world map (only red cross instead)
- hospital is quite "filled" with workers, scientists, pilots and so on, all green. did that happen by intention?

I guess, the pictures were just replaced by the red cross. I do not have pictures as well. In my case, all soldiers are shown in the hospital view including their current state.

I don´t think the mission icons were removed. They just ... vanished. Somehow. Sometime.

The soldiers showing up in the hospital screen might be related to mattn´s work on the implants. Thats still wip I guess.
