1.44 font size rendered to small

[chrislu]

Hi,
HippoEdit 1.45 on Windows Vista/7 x64.

Using consolas font with size 8 is now rendered extremely small. Using font size 9 is rendered Ok.

Hi chrislu,

welcome. Can you please attach screen shot demonstrating this that I can check.
There is no problem to change default font size for hippoedit config files to 9, but I just curious, what is a difference between XP for example.. There font size was fine (at least for me ). But it was smaller then standard Courier new size for rest of syntaxes.

Best regards,
Alex.

Ok,

here with font size 9:


now directly switched to font size 8:


i don't have a xp installed at the moment, so i can not check there. this was ok with 1.43 and with 1.44 (typo in the post title) i have this behavior.

Hi Chris,

yes, you are right... I have compared with 1.42 and then with Consolas text in Notepad. Looks like that height of Consolas 9 in HE 1.44 is 8 pt  but not 9 pt.

In HE 1.42 the font height of 8 pt Consolas was also, from my point of view is not Ok. But any way...
I think this is a rounding problem (I have replaced windows MulDiv by my own inline, an probably it is a little bit different :/ ).

I would fix the bug in next beta. Strange, that for Courier New is in not noticeable, but probably because I use size 10 pt and it is difficult to see 1 pt difference in this case.

Thanks a lot for bug report.

Best regards,
Alex.

hi, when compared to visual studio the way 1.43 rendered the fonts was right. the 8 point in 1.44 is way to small while the 9 point was correct again compared to visual studio. please remember that 8 pint does not mean 8 pixels high or wide!

of course I know that pt != px
I was just comparing them to text output of Notepad. Where for 8 pt it was 9 px HE uses 8 px.
