Letter Colour Distortion #169

Closed Dev5H0 closed 2 years ago

Dev5H0 commented 3 years ago

Some letters like "l" and "i" next to each other get distorted as you zoom in/out.

Of note:

It gets more visible the more "affected" letters there are.
Affects Windows version (I only checked 2.6.0).
Does not affect Linux version (Heimer 2.6.0) (Not sure if the distro or KDE can affect it, but I'm using Mint Cinnamon rn).

I have a possible solution, which would be adding a slight margin to affected (if not ALL) letters.

I have a video example, though it's much less visible.

This is a Qt bug, isn't it? I'm not sure how to modify the text rendering like that as I'm just using QGraphicsTextItem.

Dev5H0 commented 2 years ago

Ah, sorry for the incredibly late reply.

I can't really say, have no proper knowledge of QT, but that might very well be the case, if that's the widget toolkit you use.

Anyways, I just wanted to report to you about this, as it didn't seem like it was supposed to happen. 😅

I now bumped into this when running Heimer on Windows. For some reason I don't see this happening on Ubuntu 20.04. Maybe this could be improved a bit allowing the user to select some other font besides the default.

Dev5H0 commented 2 years ago

I'd definitely be up for being able to change the font in general, so you should definitely see if that works, when you have the time.

juzzlin commented 2 years ago

Yes, I'm planning to do that next.

I will close this as one can now work around this by changing the font.
