[QUOTE="mikael, post: 206857, member: 12616"] There is a strange problem with those start and end tags... For some font sizes the letters looks "pixelated" or zoomed. SimpleMP uses Arial 48 for the transparent title text in the upper left... when adding this start and end tags to font48 it looks really bad. Same for font12 (as I shouldn't use anyway). All other fonts work perfectly with the start and end tags. Note: I have deleted the cache fonts in the ProgramData folder (using vista)... that's not the problem. Until I have a solution on this, font48 will only use the standard range of characters. Another thing I noticed a while ago is that my vista installation of MP has smaller fonts than the XP one on my HTPC (looks better on XP)... this happens with all skins... does Vista's DirectX font handler automatically reduces font sizes...? Yes, just like in BlueTwo Nope, not by default in beta 4. The reason is that I don't use that plugin (yet) on my HTPC. Feel free to make some own contributions here.
