I have been learning to use the graphical screen 12 along with a ttf font. I have noticed that the locate command behaves differently here.
if you have locate 5,1 that works and it calculates for the given font where line 5 would be, but the x =1 moves it over 1 pixel. Seems like it should move over a space. It does work in that if I say locate 5, 35 it moves over 35 pixels, It would be more intuitive if it got the width of a space in the font and moved it over that much. Anyway comments and criticism welcome. If there is a reason for it working this way I would be interested in knowing it.
Thanks,
John
