Semicolon [;] key not highly distinguishable #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open the on screen keyboard
2.Observe the difference between the semicolon (;) and colon (:) keys

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be a reasonably noticeable difference between them. However, the 
bottom marking of the semicolon does not have enough of a tail to be very 
distinguishable.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No, specific to wii gui

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 wii

Please provide any additional information below.
I spent about 5 minutes wondering why I couldn't switch drives before I 
realized it was a semicolon. Not a significant issue, but something that would 
be greatly appreciated if tweaked.

I figured you might not have the time to do this, so I went ahead and made an 
effort at it. I downloaded the font from the source trunk (SF Arborcrest Heavy) 
and gave the semicolon a more distinguished tail. It seems to have worked out 
quite well.

The reason why this can be an issue is that shift may not often be pressed due 
to the fact that dos is not case sensitive. Also, using the on screen keyboard 
with the wiimote threw off my senses about an actual keyboard.
