Text Rendering in Skins2 Mode
Posted: 01 Dec 2004 17:58
Hi,
I've been looking at writing a basic skin for VLC but I've noticed that the font in the playlist (and elsewhere, like the song title) is not rendered very well -- it seems squashed as if it's got negative kerning and it seems to have too much anti-aliasing.
The font i'm using is Tahoma, but it seems to be the same with all fonts.
Screenshot:
Can I fix this in my skin? Or if it is a problem with VLC itself, can it be fixed there? Any help would be much appriciated.
