Post by Torsten Ulv »

This is not a guide to action.

After restarting the program, the designated buttons of the tool bar always reset their position.
It will always be like this:

You constantly need to adjust the parameters of color, style of grid lines, guidelines, metrics.

The numerical values of the readings of the "Measure length and angle" tool are cut off. Optional binding of the measuring line to the contours of the object will improve the convenience of using this tool.

Numerous user interface elements looks bad, so I wonder what version of FontCreator you are running as well as what Windows version and the dpi settings.

Even those spin edit controls look too short. On my Windows system it all looks just fine.

The recently released update (version 14.0.0.2828) should have even better support for high dpi, so better use the latest release.

I have zoomed in on all system elements in windows 7 and the text is no longer cropped. But this is very large for my monitor.

By the way, in pictures 4 and4.1, there is still not enough space for the marked text.
