Yet Another Text Bug
« on: July 15, 2003, 09:01:00 pm »

Demon reported some strange looking text (the small font) on his computer.

Here is what it SHOULD look like:

I put up ANOTHER VERSION
that might include a fix.  In the init file, there are two new variables:  text_expand_x and text_expand_y.  By fiddling with these numbers you might make the text look better.  It's possible that the letter polygons aren't being handled exactly the same by all computers.  In order to remedy this, you might need to expand or contract them.  For Demon, I'd recommend trying a little expansion (~10?).  It might help, it might not.

Reports are welcome, as well as ideal numbers.  You'd want the small text to appear as above, and you also want the title letters not to bump into each other.

This applies only to the new text option (most people).  If you are satisfied with your text, you don't need the new version.
