Overlaping Descriptions with interface size x2

Post by pankratz »

Hi there. With interface size x2 I get overlaping descriptions of towns at few zoomlevels.

The lower labels seem to be added by a game script, as extra signs. There isn't really much to do about this, as far as the game code that puts them on the screen is concerned, it's the same as a station name sign which would also overlap with the town name.

Yes, it's added by a script. Too bad that there is no way to fix this.

not sure how you would "fix" this... the position is tied to the tile, so you can't move it to avoid the overlap. and using a different font size would subvert the x2 interface size.

Interesting, I use this script too and have had no problem with it, maybe because I have TrueType Font set?

as far as i know, truetype fonts don't adhere to the interface scaling, it uses the font size you set separately

Truetype fonts definitely scale with interface scaling, it would be absurd not to.

The usual trick which some GS do is to put the sign one tile south, which gives a bit more room when zoomed out.
He's like, some kind of OpenTTD developer.
