Font display on 3.7.0

[SMcNeill]

Further testing shows that this is a glitch on our c-side of things, and is something that we should be able to sort out and correct in a future patch.  For now, you can load your font with the "dontblend" option and it should display without any issues, as showcased below:

Code: (Select All)

Dim As Long Screen1, Font24, Font12

$NoPrefix

Screen1 = NewImage(1280, 720, 32)
Font24 = NewImage(600, 300, 32)
Font12 = NewImage(210, 100, 32)

Screen Screen1

Font LoadFont("arial.ttf", 60, "dontblend")
Print "1234567890-=`~!@#$%^&*()_+?:<>"
Print "abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz"
Print UCase$("abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz")
Sleep

UPrintString (0, 4 * ULineSpacing), "1234567890-=`~!@#$%^&*()_+?:<>"
UPrintString (0, 5 * ULineSpacing), "abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz"
UPrintString (0, 6 * ULineSpacing), UCase$("abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz")

Sleep
Cls

Font LoadFont("arial.ttf", 48, "dontblend")

Print "1234567890-=`~!@#$%^&*()_+?:<>"
Print "abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz"
Print UCase$("abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz")

UPrintString (0, 4 * ULineSpacing), "1234567890-=`~!@#$%^&*()_+?:<>"
UPrintString (0, 5 * ULineSpacing), "abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz"
UPrintString (0, 6 * ULineSpacing), UCase$("abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz")

Good news is this doesn't seem to be an overtly complex issue to replicate and isolate, and hopefully won't be too hard to fix for when the next version of QB64PE comes out.
