Controlling Text Rendering / Controlling Font Display
The font and rendering are controlled via the RenderStyle configuration
page.
- The font Type give a selection on fonts available on the machine
- Font rendering is controlled by the Font Rendering list. There are
several options for rendering the font:
- Fit To Fill Text - Will figure out the correct number of lines to
display all of the text to be displayed.
- Set Font Size - Will display a box allowing the specification of a
specific font size. Warning setting this above 150 can slow down the font rendering
- Set Number Lines - Will display a box allowing the specification of a
certain number of display lines.
- Fit To Fill on Overflow - Uses the number of lines but if the text does
not fit then automatically adds lines as required
- Font Size Allows you to set the value for the size of the font when Font rendering
is set to "Set Font Size".
- Set Number Lines
- Outline controls the color of the outline if outlining is selected.
- Outline size controls outline thickness. You can set this
value from 0 to any number. When it is set to 0 the outline will disappear,
even if the outline button is checked.
- Italicizede Allows you to toggle between the text being italicized or not.
- Underlinede Allows you to toggle between the text being underlined or not.
- Boldness is controlled by a percentage
When it is set to 0% no boldness is
applied.
The larger the % the thicker the boldness.
- Text alignment is controlled by the Alignment list boxes. The left
alignment list controls right, center, and left justification. The right alignment list controls top, center or bottom justification.
- The Shadow is controlled by the two Shadow Offset boxes. The left box controls shadow placement
from right to left. Negative numbers move the shadow to the left of the text. The right
box controls the shadow placement up and down. Negative numbers move
the shadow above the text. Setting both values to zero eliminates
the shadow.
- The color boxes control the color of the font.
"Color" controls the basic font color. "Shadow" controls the
font's shadow color, if this is set to the same color as the main font
the shadow is disabled. "BackColor" puts a solid color behind
the entire text box, black is the default for
transparency.
- The Set Default / Get Default can store retrieve a desired
renderstyle set.
