Do you hate spring's in-game text?

for the font issues specifically, which still exist.

[j5mello]

uh no its no longer a problem. U can now define ur own font. there is a thread about it somewhere. i don't remember which and im too tired to look it up...

[pheldens]

That is in current devel yes, read the thread, and that doesnt take away all the font problems, but it does give the user the room to pick another font hoping that will change the suboptimal default situation. Something that could be done by overwriting the font all along.

[j5mello]

well the prob with ATI can't really be fixed that easily AFAIK. the only true way to get rid of font issues on the buttons is to change them to icons but i don't think people want that.

yeah.. whatever that means..

There's still a fontrender bug thats not ATI related, but atleast MESA level, since it occurs in 100% software rendering too, but more likely a bug or design flaw in trunk/rts/Rendering/glFont.cpp (either the determined baseline for the glyphs is too low, or the bitmap -> texture conversion goes wrong, or the final texture placement is shifted.)

see screenshot below at 1:1, notice the tails of j and g are added ontop of the glyph 'slot'. :

I want the background of the window that the font is used on to not be transparent anymore, or a way to set it how i like. It just makes text unreadable when over some certain terrain colors.

Never had that problem, contrast is sufficient.

That has been implented. Use < and > to change background opacity.
