The Crypt

[hsiangch_ong]

i'm sorry for the misleading message.  i didn't look over carefully.  the screenshot in the first post of this thread.  it revealed better that the crypt scheme isn't very good.  if the encrypted message has spaces in certain places.  then when it's decoded.  then those spaces appear in the same places.

i had thought it was bad font rendering.  "kerning" is how fonts are laid horizontally more or less.  for example in the word "troll".  with capital "t".  the "r" is fit under the "t" in "troll".  usually this is in "sans serif" font.  never in a monospaced font.

i say this because while using some windows programs.  on linux with wine.  the showing of the "default" windows font is variable.  in one operating system i tried.  the letters were too jagged.  also placing "w" then another letter right next to it.  tooked too funny.  anti-alias didn't make it better.  in fact made it more difficult to read.  when microsoft changed the "default" font in windows7 or whenever.  wine 8 and later sort of followed it.  the display got better as a result.  but still have to deal.  with the ends of text fields being chopped off.
