Hey everyone, I'm having an issue drawing to multiple graphics windows. If they have the same resolution, everything comes out fine, but if the resolution is different, the fonts look distorted. Example:

SuperStrict
Local g1:TGraphics = CreateGraphics(200,100,0,0,Null)
Local g2:TGraphics = CreateGraphics(200,100,0,0,Null)
Local g3:TGraphics = CreateGraphics(300,100,0,0,Null)


Repeat
PollSystem()
Delay 100
SetGraphics g1
Cls
DrawText("Hello G1",10,10)
Flip
SetGraphics g2
Cls
DrawText("Hello G2",10,10)
Flip
SetGraphics g3
Cls
DrawText("Hello G3",10,10)
Flip
Forever


In Some cases on OSX, letters that are repeated (i.e. Hello) show up as white blocks. Is there a way around this?

What version of Max are you using? I think your issue is related to this.. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=89079

I'm using 1.41. I've tried the SetViewport fix but it did not change the output.

Sorry that didn't help, I've not upgraded to the latest max yet. However on my windows machine (and Max 1.39) this only fails when using the default d3d9 graphics driver. Adding:

SetGraphicsDriver d3d7max2ddriver()


or

SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver()
GLShareContexts()


fixes it for me.

Wonderful, the GLShareContexts() Fixed it on the Mac as well. Thanks a ton.
