Hello,
working with LC 5.5.3/4 on windows the text size in the cancel button of the
ask dialog is smaller as the text size in the ok button.
Setting (or not) the text font and size at stack level doesn't change
anything.
In QCC I have only found a similar but solved issue from 2007.
Is this a known bug and is there any workaround?
Thanks
Tiemo
Well there is what I call "Richmond's Guarantee"; the 'guarantee' that
text looks exactly the same
wherever it is; on your Windows 7, my Xubuntu 12.10, her Macnitosh 10.6,
Uncle Fred's Android,
and so on:
Make all you buttons images.
Obviously for ASK and ANSWER dialog(ue)s this means foregoing the 'pleasure'
of Livecode's inbuilt ones and rolling one's own.
For the sake of argument;
I have been obsessed with Apple's Charcoal font ever since Mac OS 9 and
have it installed on
my main rig (Mac OS 10.6.7 inside VMware on UbuntuStduio 12.10), make
all my buttons
using this font, export them as PNG images and re-import them to use as
buttons that will
look consistent cross-platform and cross-PC.
Obviously this is somewhat time-consuming, but if you care to take a
look here:
http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/dwriterpro.html and even
download the thing,
you will see I am a bit of an aesthetics nut.
Richmond.
