Strange Font Error

[greatflash]

Hi,

Have discovered a strange error when you set the resolution greater than 1024 pixels (I am trying to create a theme of 1920x1200) - the 'Start' font above the clock starts to lose characters?

This only appears to happen under Vista to me. I run the theme on the laptop at work and all is fine? If i reduce the resolution back down to 1024x768 in Vista, the missing characters return.

I have tried various fonts in the hope that one will sort it out - but no luck...

This is not an error caused by the Theme Editor as the same thing happens when the resolution is typed into theme.ini on a fresh V2 theme?

I have no idea if this is an error with just me and my vista install, or if the way vista renders fonts differs from xp.

I hope there is a solution or work-around..

Cheers

Oh snaps! I had the exact same problem last light when I set it to keep the desktop resolution when starting... I thought it was just something wrong on my end and since I don't really need the text to be there anyway, I just disabled it altogether. No problems there.

I would say a work-around would be to disable the text and use a custom background with text as part of the image.

At least you guys can run it at your norm res's. I try mine on 1680x1050 and it is choppy as hell. Weird cause i can play games at my normal res and dont lag. You could try moving the box or resizing the box which contains the font. Or just Redo a Picture to replace it. Just spitballin.

I dont think I've ever testedt about a height of 1024. Ill look into it. Does it affect the default V1 themes too. Can you post a screenshot?
