Hello!

I'd like to request fixed size of a text with fixed size (sounds nice ahaha) when it is placed on a button, tabs and other elements that increase text size inside it when adjusting height of an element. If text is created as non-fixed that looks ok and doesn't needs to be changed (it looks smooth and good when changing size), but when text has fixed size it becomes not nice.

When text has fixed size that means that text looks good only with the size that was used for creation, i think that's clear and that's the reason of creating fixed sized fonts.

Hope you got the idea, in other case i will make some screenshots.

Is Scalable Vector Graphics what you have in mind? just asking to clarify the idea.

1. I have fixed size pixel font - Sans Serif 18.
   

2. I create a gui where i create a button with height 24 and text scale 0.75.
24*0.75 = 18 pixels, so i get what i want:
   

3. When i increase button height 48 pixels I expect getting this, because i have fixed size font:
   

4. But i get this and i can't say i'm happy:
   

P.S. of course i don't want such behaviour for scaling text it's only for fixed size fonts.

It would be logical that it would work as you are requesting, I don't see why people would enjoy scaled pixelated text : ) +1

Per-pixel isn't really good for games.
What if you run the game on a 640x480 screen and then on a 2560x1400 screen?

Yes, that makes sense. But existence of per-pixel font also makes sense of my request, doesn't it?

If I'm not mistaken a lot of games out there are using fixed size fonts but that they add detail with the PPI.

This is a really good argument for the feature you're asking for, I definitely support this request.

I too have often found it hard to get font to look crisp and sharp like it does in say Word or VS for example. Very interesting link TBJokers.

I support the request, such feature will be helpful.

Nothing here? Many people supported the request.

Anything?

I'm not in favor of this feature, but you can easily handle this on your own, by calling
TextStyle::setPerPixelSize()
inside D.screen_changed callback

That doesn't work for me.
I do the same as i wrote in my 3rd post here, but when i call like this


Nothing happens.

UPD:
It's not the wayaround, because it changes TextStyle, but i need to change "Gui text scale".

But a lot of people (including the ones with binary and source licences) want this feature to be implemented. If i were alone, i would think that this feature is not needed by others

I believe it's not that hard to implement it like a flag somewhere in D. (like Bool D.perPixel_fixedFont, default false)
