<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I spent all of yesterday trying to figure out why scripted
lessons, more specifically custom text within scripted lessons was displaying
different between windows and Linux. The answer is a difference between
how Pango and TTF were drawing the text passed to them. I am using
SDL_Pango 0.1.2-8 and SDL_ttf 2.0.9-4. What is happening is that pango
draws the text pretty close to the upper left corner of the surface, yet ttf
adds a significant gap before the text, drawing it down and to the right, so no
consistent rendering exists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I believe this is actually due to the font file AndikaDesRevG.ttf,
I burrowed ariel.ttf from windows and used it in place, and both pango and ttf
rendered the text exactly the same, which is what should happen, as functions
outside of SDL_extras should not care which method is used. If possible,
could someone confirm that they are seeing the same thing on their end, and if
there is indeed an issue with the font, a substitute should be considered.<o:p></o:p></p>
