Text doesn't display "L" in some programs #142

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
VLC media player (0.9 and up) and Aiseesoft Total Video converter

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start gdipp service, and ensure it is running
2. Launch VLC Media Player or Aiseesoft Total Video Converter
3. Look at several menus.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The lowercase L is missing, and it is just a blank space instead.

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
The latest version (0.9.1)

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

Additional facts: text doesn't render in Vista themes. But if user switches to 
Windows Classic themes, the letters display again. See snapshots.

Solved when editing the gdipp_setting.xml. I disabled the service for those 
programs. I suggest everyone does the same.

Very nice. Even better would be the list of processes as a text-file :)

This happens also with Mozilla Firefox (both 3.6.x and 4.0 stable, without 
Direct2D H/W Accel) and Segoe UI at 9pt, the default used in Windows 7 and 
Vista. 

How to reproduce: try typing a word with a lowercase 'L' in the address bar. It 
will not show up until you type another letter.

gdipp 0.9.1 beta, both x86/x64 Windows 7. Using FreeType renderer.

Other thoughts: It may be an issue with the pixel grid? The renderer seems to 
be applying kerning on-the-fly, correcting the issue after you type after the 
"invisible" lowercase 'L'.

same as issue 127 which is reportedly fixed?

Just wanted to let you guys know I finally found a solution. 

Go to settings and change the renderer from "10" to "11". The "l" will now 
appear in VLC and Firefox. I only experienced the problem with these two 
programs so I can't speak on any other ones. In my opinion the difference in 
the rendering is negligible and unnoticeable to the eye,  it really doesn't 
look any different than if it was at 10.

Let me know what you guys think.

The Firefox URL bar and search bar are the main places this has been bugging 
me. Changing the font renderer did not help on my system, but bumping the 
URL/search bar font from the default 9pt to 10pt works for me.

Create a userChrome.css file in your Firefox profile's chrome directory, if it 
does not already exist. Add the following, and restart Firefox:

#urlbar, #searchbar .searchbar-textbox {
  font-size: 10pt !important
}

If changing 9pt to 10pt works, may be it's a clue to find this bug in a code?

Windows 7 x86, Firefox 9.0 - lowercase 'L' at the end of line doesn't appear, 
but in any other place it apeear.  -> May be it's a second clue to find this 
bug.

The issue also happens in the TortoiseHg workbench v2.3 (and earlier versions). 

Win7x64, gdipp 0.9.1.

@8: Thanks, that worked (I had to restart Firefox).
Does anyone know if this issue is also affecting the stable release?

Same issue on Win 8.1 x64 when the font seems smaller than 10px and using 
SegoeUI (it seems).
