Too large Font (Black Glass 2.3.0, MP 1.1.0 RC1, Win7) (1 Viewer)

[bix]

Hi,

I have a problem with the font included in the black glass package.
I followed the instructions and copied / installed the font in the font folder of windows (windows 7).
But when i start mediaportal, i have always a large scale font. It seems that it doesn't use the correct font.
Because when i delete it from the font folder, it's the same problem than with it.

The problem started first when i changed from winXP to win7.
I use a german version. So the font-file is called automatically Sansation_Standard and not Sansation_Regular.

I don't want to miss that great looking skin. Perhaps someone know a workaround for that problem.

thx

Peter

Have you changed the font dpi settings in windows 7?

Can you please post a screenshot?

Thanks

Yes, i changed the dpi to 150.
But i set it back to normal and the same problem.

Here a picture of my problem. It's in all pages the same large font.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I deleted with the console all 4 Sansation_Regular files (why windows doesn't overwrite the old one???)
Then i did the installation with the extension installer. Btw, the installer does not install the font in the windows directory.
Now i have a normal looking scale. But without your font.

Here a Picture how it looks now:

I checked it with the pictures of your release and they aren't the same font.

lol @ pic

after you change dpi, close MediaPortal, remove cache folder:

C:\Users\All Users\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\Black Glass*, and restart..

Should be fine then..

Yeah, the cache. I always forget to clear the cache directory. Thanks for the hint.

So that's my workaround now:

- Set dpi settings back to normal 100%
- Cleared cache and started MP -> looks good
- Set dpi settings to 150
- DID NOT cleared cache
- Started MP and the scale was same as at 100 dpi

Until i don't clear the cache i have the correct scale.

Although i set the check box in the file-properties of MP don't to scale at large dpi -> windows do what it want.
One reason why i prefer linux.

Do you have a idea of a solution, providing that i'm not the only one with that problem?

You have to ask Mediaportal developers, not me!
