Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

Here’s another interesting observation. My table is set to Lucida Grande 13 I have some popup menus on the card set to Lucida Grande 13 Why does the text in the popup menus appear larger than the text in the Table? Thanks Terry > On 18 Dec 2019, at 08:00, Terence Heaford via use-livecode

The setAllowsFontSmoothing function states "Font are smoothed if they are antialiased when drawn and if font smoothing is both allowed and enabled. For information on how to enable font smoothing, see the setShouldSmoothFonts(_:)

Some have reported noticing the difference (generally I mean, not just in LC) all the way back as far as 2007. Retina came to the MacBook in 2012. Sean Cole Pi Digital Prod Ltd > On 17 Dec 2019, at 21:42, Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > You´ve asked me that already last year

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

This to do with the sharpness setting for the fonts. If you have Photoshop you have the ability to set the levels of this in the character parameters. The same principle is available to Mac developers in font smoothing. This adds levels of clarity to the fill of the typeface. Here’s Apples

You´ve asked me that already last year on the 28.09.2018 when i posted about this behaviour the first time. ;) Did not make a difference. Regards, Matthias Matthias Rebbe free tools for Livecoders: InstaMaker WinSignMaker Mac

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

On Windows could the “formatForPrinting” property be effecting this? Windows apparently uses different fonts for screen display vs printing. Marty > On Dec 17, 2019, at 12:51 PM, Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > I ran into something similar in Windows, but also something other...

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

I ran into something similar in Windows, but also something other... I wanted to use a BarcodeFont, in my case 2of5i, in a Windows application i´ve created with LC. When i displayed a barcode in the Windows text editor, the barcode was displayed correctly. Even when i increased or decreased

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

Firstly I have an iMac, none retina. 1. Just checked Pages & Numbers and they both appear similar to LC. 2. Then checked TextEdit and that appears the same as Filemaker. The rendering of the text in Filemaker & TextEdit appears to my poor eyesight to be more black (if that is possible). My

What version of LiveCode are you using. Older releases did not support the Retina display, but newer releases do. On 12/17/2019 12:05 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: I have a retina display laptop and I screen shot a table and a text field. The pixels from both seem abnormally

I have a retina display laptop and I screen shot a table and a text field. The pixels from both seem abnormally large, certainly not Retina pixels. I did the same thing with a textEdit file and got the same result! Took a screen shot of the background image for the monitor pizels are MUCH

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

They are both Lucida Grande 13. One is Filemaker the other Livecode. All Apple’s apps and those that clearly using Native Text display the same it is only Livecode that displays differently. Does Livecode use Apple’s text rendering or another? Thanks Terry > On 17 Dec 2019, at 15:49, Bob

Re: Table Text Livecode vs .....

It's clear the pixels in one are much larger and that's the one where the actual letters are smaller! Are these the same font size? Bob S > On Dec 17, 2019, at 06:55 , Terence Heaford via use-livecode > wrote: > > Here are the links. If you look closely the anti aliasing of the text seems

Here are the links. If you look closely the anti aliasing of the text seems inferior on LC. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xic5db59hh4hs4v/Livecode.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/nv6gws84l78n053/Other%20app%20tables.png?dl=0

Can someone explain why the text in a livecode table displays more poorly on screen than other native macos apps? Here are two screen grabs that display the difference. Thanks Terry ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com
