[IWD:EE] Is the tooltip text size too small at all font sizes?

agris · December 2014

I'm curious as to what the community thinks before I write a bug report. To my eye it appears that the tool-tip text size is too small at every font-size selection compared to the combat / dialogue box text size. That is, if the dialogue font size looks correct, the tool-tip text size is one notch (based on the font slider) too small. If the tool-tip text size looks correct, my dialogue window text is one notch too large.

I principally noticed this while playing with the UI unscaled in full screen 1920x1200. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know what file controls the correlation between the Font Size slider and a specific font size to a specific UI font? @Avenger_teambg‌

Sorry, i don't know the answer for this.

@agris Does it look similar to this problem? Then it will be fixed.

Any idea when this will be fixed?

@volneb83 I'm not sure, but perhaps. It's not promising that no one other than @treaves seems to have noticed it. What I'm outlining seems to be 'as intended', and my problem is that as intended isn't quite right. Tool-tip text should be 'one-notch' larger with respect to the font size selection, globally.

I suspect the ToolTips are graphics and not text objects and there's a bug which prevents them from getting scaled relative to everything else. On my MacBook Pro the Tooltips are barely readable but everything else looks great.

Tool tip text is not just too small, but also incorrectly aligned. Mac version on retina display.

@Troodon80 @Gate70

Has this bug been acknowledged by the devs? I'm not just referring to @petrklapka's observation, but mine in the OP. Win7 x64 with AMD graphics, no forced open GL settings in the driver panel, the tool-tip text is always one notch too small for a given dialogue / combat font size.

If it isn't clear what I mean, I'll be happy to clarify with images.

@agris,

I believe it is known about (could have been reported in the Bugs category). But please do post a screenshot for the sake of clarity.
