Text in Steam mangled after March 14th #216

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steam.exe causes the problem every time it starts.

The expected output is text from steam websites viewed via the steam client. 
What I see is mangled pixels. The interesting thing is that if you look 
closely, you can see what the text is, it just looks like the sub-pixel 
rendering has shifted the text so that parts are red, parts are blue, etc.

0.9.1 on windows 7 home premium. Using the current version of steam.

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

For screenshots, email me at joshua.curtis.smith0@gmail.com, and I'll get them 
to you asap, since I apparently cannot attach a screenshot to this bug report.

The issue looks like this here:
http://tinypic.com/r/20fbvyp/5 (direct link: http://i39.tinypic.com/20fbvyp.jpg)

As you said: It's the stuff from the Steam websites; the library etc. is shown 
without errors. So maybe this bug is related to issue 214 
(http://code.google.com/p/gdipp/issues/detail?id=214)?

Workaround: Exclude Steam in the gdipp_setting.xml 
("<process>steam\.exe</process>" works here).

PS: 0.9.1 on Win 7 Pro x64

I don't see that problem in my Steam. Have u tried to disable "Enable 
DirectWrite for improved font smoothing and kerning" under 
View->Settings->Interface.

Maybe that could help....excluding it in the xml works too

I excluded it in the xml, and the issue was resolved. I haven't re-enabled it 
to check if it works again, but I'll do that this weekend.

@Joshua
Why do you say it is resolved, it hasen't been resolved has it, unless you 
consider excluding steam as resolved, but that's a workaround isen't it?

Steam Overlay is effected as well

Try Blacklisting GameOverlayUI.exe in the mean time

This issue is related to the rendering issues with Chromium engine. Steam 
changed its rendering to Chromium after Match 14th.

Sorry, but i am having the same issue, but how do i go about excluding Steam in 
the gdipp_setting.xml.

I also had this issue. Half of the text in steam was unreadable with exception 
of the library.

I can confirm that modifying the gdipp_setting.xml by adding 
<process>steam\.exe</process> indeed solves the problem.

I'm using Windows 7 ultimate x32
