Gui glitch with font size 10.

Post by *jslegers »

Hello,

When I have a font size of 10 and some dialog boxes have some problems with the bigger font.

Example of Change the Button bar with a font size of 10

You have to scale the dialog boxes using the option on the font configuration page to. For size 10 it should be ~107 dpi when it was 9 before.

In another thread I suggested to remove the font size option for dialog boxes completely. It's just confusing that there a two options which can be used for almost the same result. And one of them is clearly superior as it also zooms the dialog.

Fir the configuration screen this works but not for the button bar config. Problem stays the same.

Maybe a bug to be fixed in the next beta for 9 ?

Sorry, I do not want to remove the font size option entirely - some fonts look better with size 8, e.g. Microsoft Sans Serif, some with 9, like Segoe UI.

As described above, the dialog boxes are NOT resized with the fonts. I tried this once, and it looked extremely ugly with some fonts (especially fixed pitch fonts). Just use a higher DPI setting and keep the font size at 8 or 9.
