TrueType Scaling/Resizing Bug in Windows
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:53 pm
Hi,
I came across this message board via Google, and after reading some of the threads, I feel completely out of my depth. So please excuse my ignorance.
I've been trying to track down the cause for a Windows font I use only displaying the correct size in certain applications.
Some of the software I use seems to have a different sizing method to the typical Windows API.
Allow me to demonstrate which font I deem "correct" with this image.
I've looked everywhere to find out how to get this "in between" font size, with no success.
While attempting to create a new Bitmap/.FON using an image as reference, I discovered that only TrueType/TTF files have font smoothing, and only above a certain size.
In Summary: My question is does anyone know how change the way that the font scales, so that perhaps "Size 8" in Windows will render what was originally "Size 7.5ish".
Thanks in advance for any advice or websites people can refer me to.
