Stopping graphics sets from blinking with Truetype on?
« on: August 29, 2012, 07:48:25 pm »
You know that glitch where the font and stuff gets blacked out in certain areas when Truetype is on? Is there any way to fix that or is it just a quirk of Truetype? If so I'll probably just keep truetype off.

To fix it, simply scroll your mousewheel out, then in. Yes., it's temporary, but you can do it whenever.



Also, do not turn off truetype. Keeping it on is a VERY good idea.

Why? It may not be pretty but it's still readable and everything if you have it off. I'd stay with Truetype font if it would friggin' stop blinking and stuff when I'm trying to play with cool graphics sets.

I kinda prefer not to see random stairs everywhere, hence why I just fiddle with the zoom, which resets it.

Its a problem in the software.  Toady or, I think, Baugn are the ones to fix it.  And the bug is already in the bug tracker, but a much lower priority than some other issues.

Minimizing and restoring the application temporarily fixes it. Other than that the only way to stop it is to turn off true type which kind of hurts the eyes so I put up with having to minimize it every now and then.
