Font rendering: width of space / alignment

Post by frankfunk »

I've encountered two bugs in Text Block and Text Animator which prohibit me from using text correctly in Resolume:

1. Text Block & Text Animator: Spaces don't scale
Spaces (space bar) between words don't scale with the "Size" property. So when size > 1 spaces get narrower, and when size < 1 spaces get wider.

2. Text Animator only: Alignment not working
Text alignment (left / center / right) doesn't have any impact on font rendering, text is always displayed centered.

The Text align will work if you have multiple lines of text ;)

Not really. If the longest line becomes longer, the whole text block moves, there is no fixed "anchor point" where lines start (as is the case in virtually any other tool that deals with text, like any Adobe software, MS Word, etc.

Text block can do it then.
Text animator is designed to move the text around.
