RC3 font issue

Artur Zinatullin · Post by **Artur Zinatullin** » 16 Apr 2007, 09:04

I've installed RC3 and there is an issue with fonts.
First of all, it was unable to import my panel font settings from previous configuration. When I changed it manually, it still didn't change a directory line font.
I guess, something has being rewriten there?

Hi Artur, we did a little cleaning of font usage in Salamander 2.5 RC3.

Salamander now uses (for main window controls) standard Windows font (Tahoma on W2K and XP, Segoe UI on Vista).

Panel font was "reseted" to this font, but can be changed in configuration.

Note: font in the Directory Line wasn't driven by configuration settings.

It's "8 pt. Microsoft Sans Serif (standard font)" on my XPSP2.
Surprising, I didn't find any on windows appearance configutation. Can it be changed at all?
However, it't be really nice, if I coud override it in Salamanders config.
This bold 8 pt. MS Sans Serif in directory line, info line, command line, etc. looks pretty ugly for me.

Bold font? Could it be this problem?

Ja, regarding your last post in the earlier thread:

The screenshot I uploaded is 1:1, 51.1 kB big.
Could it be you are only seeing the thumprint on that page?

There should be an image link in the bottom left corner that you can click on, to see the full-size image.

I received also screenshot from Textor. Definetely the same problem.

Guys, would you please test a special build of Salamander?

That looks familiar:
by default, after the installation of RC3, the Panel Font is set to Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt. bold, which can be changed by the user in the configuration dialog shown.

But other fonts, like the ones for the command line, directory line, and bottom toolbar, are also set to bold, and can't be changed.

RC3_Test1 shows normal, not bold font in directory, information and command lines.
Size of the font is constant.

Confirmed - the previously bold fonts in the mentioned lines are now back to normal.
