I keep getting certain characters in my strings that appear to be of a different size than the rest. I don't try to resize individually, it's all created normally and not altered.

note the 'h' on line B,
and the 'a,r,n,e,o' on line D

I use the steam version of AppGameKit which always updates itself.

Do you use a resolution different to the size of the display? (I.E. SetWindowSize to something other than the screens width/height)
Do you use a virtual resolution?
Could you post a simple code example showing only the error?

Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.

Hey, thanks!

IMHO there's no need to post code, since when i set all same and go fullscreen , there is no problem.

i was running it small for a while to see if that affected frame rate.

I can't replicate this

+ Code Snippet

SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "bugs" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 1 )
SetSyncRate(20,0)
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 )

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )
SetScissor(0,0,0,0)
SetClearColor( 101,120,154 )

CreateText( 1, "A) Carbine: A short rifle with a tube magazine." )
CreateText( 2, "B) Shirt: Something to cover your chest." )

SetTextPosition( 1, 10, 100 )
SetTextPosition( 2, 10, 120 )

SetTextSize( 1, 20 )
SetTextSize( 2, 20 )

do
	
    Sync()
loop

OK, well, if you're trying,

A: i was using this combination of screen stuff:

SetWindowSize( 1440,810, 0 )
SetVirtualResolution( 1920,1080 )

Maybe that will reproduce it?

B: My players really want steam achievements. Can you please build the APP ID into the PLAYER at COMPILE-TIME (since agk builds a player when none exists)
