Steve Note:  For all those who were seeing issues with the font rendering with the last version, you might want to grab a copy of this version and test things out.  I *think* the issue with those faded/blurred fonts has now been fixed and should no longer be an issue for anyone.  To me, that makes this version one which I'd almost consider to be an "essential update" for folks to grab and make use of. 

I've updated to 3.13, and found that all of my progs that were written pre- update now render differently. The font-size seems to be different, although my monospace font is the same, my virtual window is the same. I can re-adjust my text to make it fit, but then it won't fit the 3.12 version. 

Can you share a short example? I'll take a look.

Here's a small section of one prog. I can fix it by widening the virtual screen, but I didn't need it larger previously.

Code: (Select All)

Screen _NewImage(960, 820, 32)
SetFont: f& = _LoadFont("C:\WINDOWS\fonts\courbd.ttf", 24, "monospace")
_Font f& '                                                                      install monospace font size 24, giving 32 usable text rows of 66 cols
Common Shared tiles$(), tile$, tilenum, speed, names$(), plr, bad$, ok$, csrv, csrh, t1, t2, thisword$, scores(), bonus, timepenalty, winscore, words$(), k, cpl
dw = _DesktopWidth: dh = _DesktopHeight
wwidth = 960
lhs = (dw - wwidth) / 2: top = (dh - 900) / 2
cpl = wwidth / _PrintWidth("X") '                                               characters per line - used for centring and wiping
_ScreenMove lhs, top '                                                          centres display on target screen

Sub Instructions
    Cls: yellow: centre "Ripple Instructions - Game Basics", 2: white
    Print "  A square grid of random letters is presented, and two players"
    Print "  try to find words within the grid, earning points based on the"
End Sub

Sub white
    Color _RGB(255, 255, 255)
End Sub

Sub yellow
    Color _RGB(255, 255, 0)
End Sub

Sub centre (txt$, linenum) '                                                                  centres text on selected line
    ctr = Int(cpl / 2 - Len(txt$) / 2) + 1 '                                                  centre is half of chars per line minus half string-length
    Locate linenum, ctr
    Print txt$
End Sub

Hi Phil,
yes, I found the same in my programs and we (the devs) already discussed it over at Discord. In fact @a740g already fixed it, I've tested it for good and it will be released ASAP in a minor bugfix version v3.13.1 I guess.

So, don't waste time trying to fix your programs, they are just fine. Just update as soon we release the bugfix and all is good again.

Great news!  I was looking for something I missed, 
but now, thanks to you guys, I'll cease and desist! 

(No, don't try to rhyme with desist)!

Did you know we also added a very special screen mode into QB64PE, just as a special way of saying thanks to one of our longest supporters for everything QB64-related?

Try this sometime:

Code: (Select All)

SCREEN Pete
PRINT "Screen"; Pete;"!  It's the only SCREEN anyone will ever really need!!"

thank you.

although this has been a mixed blessing since 3.11.

creating qb64pe executable on linux produces a large number of g++ warnings. doesn't matter which distribution. i tried on debian bookworm, on arch linux and on slackware clone. on the first time i ever tried for 3.13, i tried on ubuntu studio noble numbat a short time after i was able to install it. i wish i didn't have to see any warnings. for a while this program is not compilable to a person who refuses to upgrade the operating system. where 3.4 ran well, 3.8 and later cannot compile because now libcurl is required. on one system something to do with png files had to be installed as well.

i have a 50k line program. but it still seg-fault on debian bookworm after running it for about 15 minutes. oh well.

i will continue to recommend 3.11 to other people.
