220 Food Sprites in 16x16 pixel size. Perfect for items for a retro style game.
  • Problem Description

    When construct projects are exported and executed or executed out of construct while the scaleing settings of windows are above 100% the font size of every Text is reduced.

    Attach a Capx

    TextSizeTest

    Description of Capx

    Small project where the Text should be displayed about as long as the sprite.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Go to the display settings and set scaling to 200%
    • Windows will tell you that you should log out, do that and log in again
    • Open the capx file and execute

    Observed Result

    The length of the text is now smaller than the sprite width. Like in this image:

    Image 200%

    Expected Result

    The length of the Text should be about as long as the sprite:

    Image 100%

    (You can try this by setting the scaling back to 100% and execute.)

    Further observations

    • Standart font size of Text at 100% is 12, at 200% is 6 within the editor
    • On 100% exported projects (as html5 or windows store app) work fine on 200%
  • There's a fix aimed at resolving this in r219. Could you let me know if it works for you?
