Title: big space when editing text in the editor control
Post by: SoundGuy on May 23, 2009, 11:30:22 PM

Hey, i found a weird behavior- when the player is entering something in an editor field, and goes backwards to edit it - there's a very strange space (like 5 single spaces) where the cursor should be.

i tried different fonts but that's not it.

any clues as to what's causing it ?

Make sure you have both normal and selected font assigned. They are both used to measure text width.

they are both assigned and same size.

also, the more i hit the left arrow key, the larger the space becomes.

No idea then. You're using: bitmap fonts / truetype fonts, utf-8 string table, non-utf-8 string table?

Truetype
here's the .FONT file:

Code: [Select]

; $EDITOR_PROJECT_ROOT_DIR$ ..\..\

TTFONT
{
  SIZE = 14

FACE= "Comic Sans MS"
;FILENAME = "fonts\KOMIKAH_.ttf"

;  BOLD = FALSE
  ITALIC = FALSE
  UNDERLINE = FALSE
  STRIKE = FALSE

CHARSET = 0

  COLOR { 0, 0, 0 }
  ALPHA = 255
 
  LAYER
  {
    OFFSET_X = 0
    OFFSET_Y = 0
    COLOR { 0, 0, 0 }
    ALPHA = 255
  }
}

any ideas whatsoever?
can you see if you reproduce this with the same .FONT file ? or should I try and take WME_DEMO_3D and try it there?

it seems that this problem only occur with TTF font

By the way i've not been able to display a selected font (white letter over black background) ...
