[WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
I'm using a custom theme with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and my Text elements look a bit rubbish. I've tried various combinations of Height, Weight and font name and, while some look worse than others, none seems to me to look particularly good. Could I be doing something wrong? Any tricks/tips to get it looking nicer? Thanks -- Android apps run on BlackBerry 10 Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.

Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
Hmm, are you trying to make the font larger or smaller? What OS are you testing the bundle on and what is the DPI/Font scaling configured as? A quick scan of the source shows me no calls to SetProcessDPIAware, and the manifest doesn't contain dpiAware, so I would assume it's because you are on a newer OS and you have your font scaling cranked up. -Original Message- From: Parkes, Kevin [mailto:kevin.par...@wacom.eu] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 6:58 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts I'm using a custom theme with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and my Text elements look a bit rubbish.

Nope, just Windows 7 and standard DPI (and WiX 3.7 BTW) Hoover, Jacob wrote Hmm, are you trying to make the font larger or smaller?

Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
Further information: I had taken out the Background attributes from - putting them back seems to fix that problem. However, and possibly related, I've also now tried putting different images on individual pages and I'm seeing *all* of the images appear on each page. Is the window not cleared between pages?

Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
You are correct I found the same thing. Any text that changes during the install must have a Background attribute on the font otherwise the text just keeps drawing over itself. This makes it really difficult if you are using a background image. I did come across the issue with the images you speak of. I had a Billboard on the Progress page and it was appearing on all pages. I changed something to fix it but cannot for the life of me remember what it was. -Original Message- From: Kevin Parkes [mailto:kevin.par...@wacom.eu] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 8:36 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts Further information: I had taken out the Background attributes from - putting them back seems to fix that problem.
