[2.18] Display problems
|
In the above screenshot, you can probably get a good idea of what my topic is referring to. I get a lot of words that bleed over, or misaligned tables. This is the same, no matter what theme I choose. This also happens on a lot of screens. I just happened to be looking at this one when I decided to finally post it.
I'm not sure if it's something on my end that is fixable, or if anyone else experiences the same problem. I'm running on Windows XP, and both XP style and classic style settings do nothing to fix the issue. Looking forward to advice.

It looks like you changed your font to Consolas or some other fixed width font, and because of the rest of the text isn't aligning properly. Mine looks like an Arial or Helvetica or something akin to that.

Also check the DPI settings for your video card. CMUD only displays properly with the default 96DPI setting. If you have a larger DPI or are using the "Large fonts" option, you will get display problems. And yes, CMUD is set up for the default Windows system font, which is normally Tahoma 8pt font. A future version will be fixed to work with the new default Vista system font, which is 9pt by default.

As far as the DPI and Large fonts setting, both monitors are set at 96DPI and both have "Normal font" selected.
As far as changing the fonts - where exactly are you talking about, Tech? Window fonts? I've changed them back and forth, and there's no change in display.

CMUD uses the default system font defined in your Windows Appearance settings. Someone else might be able to give the exact steps in XP (since I'm in Vista right now), but you right-click your Desktop, select Properties, then look for the Appearance tab where you can change the colors and fonts for your Windows dialog boxes. One of these settings is for the system font that defaults normally to Tahoma. Looks like your system is set to Courier or Courier New instead, and that won't work. I don't know if you need to reboot XP for the new system font to take effect. You certainly will need to restart CMUD.

Heh. The computer needed to be rebooted after changing the fonts. I was wondering why it didn't work, because I changed it from Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font back to Tahoma. But a reboot fixed it.
By the way, could you make it possible for all fonts in upcoming versions? I rather like my choice of fonts for Windows. :P
