Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Ziggy look at this: Windows 8 and FontMachine

Hey Ziggy, I dunno if you already seen this kind of bug but on Windows 8 target at least when i was using the virtual resolution (from Ignition but that doesn't really matter). There was kind of top horizontal bar of 1 pixel height and 3 pixel width at 1 or 2 pixel over some letters. Did you already seen such problem with this yet (outside the Windows 8 platform) ? Dunno what could cause this.. but the same kind of problem happen with Ignition iBitmapFont which is pretty similar to your. This is the only problem i have so far on the Windows 8 target. It all look perfectly on other targets.. The virtual resolution doesn't seem to be the cause because i emulated this on HTML 5 target and no problems at all. Thanks!

After a checkup.. the problem doesnt happen with ignition ibitmapfont seem to be only fontmachine.

To me it looks like the image filtering problem. I think more space between the charachters in the bitmap would solve this.

That make sense.. Seem to only happen to s and t there is probably an easy workaround.

I think it is a bug with mojo DrawSubImageRect

I will try to make a sample that reproduce the problem.

The cause seem to be Autofit or any virtual resolution method. This is not bind to Win8 ive been able to reproduce it on XNA too.
