Windows v6 beta test

While on topic with the text can it be drawn as the same font size (or at least the option added) as the V5 Client? A lot of the text drawn using findimgs, and guitextctrl's are off and clipped on Zodiac because of this.

I agree, it would be a good idea to at least shrink the size a bit to emulate the old fonts.

I was talking to Skyld about this once a while ago.

Its like it's too big for the GUI's but in V5 they';re fine same with most other font related things everywhere
(10:57 PM) Skyld: Right just so you know. That's how those GUIs have looked on Mac and Linux ever since Graal v3. The font rendering on Windows has been changed to use the same rendering as Mac and Linux and iPhone so that GUIs are design once use everywhere. I don't think there's an option yet for changing font, but the client will happily use other fonts for showtext and stuff
(10:59 PM) TSAdmin: hm, so weird.
(10:59 PM) Skyld: To be honest I always thought the old font rendering on Windows client was terrible
I like the Mac/Linux font rendering
(11:00 PM) TSAdmin: Even though it was cut off? I'd hate that rofl
(11:00 PM) Skyld: Well it's not cut off if people design their UIs properly

Sounds more realistic to create a emulation mode for old font than to have hugely self-righteous expectations.
