Missing letter "l"and uppercase "i" in VLC media player #173

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.

I have only experienced the problem with VLC player so far, it may exist with 
other programs though.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load up VLC player
2. Look at missing letters
3.

What is the expected output? 

No missing letters

What do you see instead?

Missing letters.

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? 0.9.0 for Windows 7 64 bit. Don't 
know what renderer is. 

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

Like I said before, it does with lowercase L's and uppercase I's (probably 
because they look the same). It doesn't do it in the option menu or anything, 
just the main layout. Also I use the "Calibri" font instead of the default one.

Ok so I read that if you exclude the program under settings that it should fix 
it. But when I try to edit the settings XML file it says access denied or 
something or that I don't have permission to edit the file? How do I do it?

Hmm, you should be able to edit the file without any permissions. 
Are you sure that you edit the right file located in (as in my location) 
C:\Program Files\gdipp\gdipp_setting.xml ?

Yeah it was still giving me problems. I just went ahead and copied all the text 
from that file, pasted it into a new notepad file, added the exclusion and then 
replaced the old file. Won't let me edit it directly.

You need to run your text editor with admin permissions in order to write to 
Program Files, or use a text editor with better UAC compatibility.

Renderer 10 has this problem, but not 20

Confirming that setting render from 10 to 20 solved the problem.
As for the 'access denied' problem in W7:

Open C:\Program Files\gdipp\gdipp_setting.xml
Look for the first <renderer> tag that has the default value of 10
Change the 10 to 20
save it on desktop
overwrite the one saved to the one in the program files folder
log off and log on back in

after further experiemnting, the value 20 is quite extreme and affects gtk 
applications. setting to 11 is best... 
it seems like anything bigger than 10 returns the letters l and i to vlc, but 
if too big, gtk applications are affected.
