[0.13.1&2] Text not aligned properly in 4:3 retro rendering mode

Post by MrFlibble »

I'm playing in the 4:3 retro rendering mode which I enabled by selecting a 4:3 resolution and the 640x400 rendering option in the Advanced settings.

In this mode, certain in-game text is not aligned properly, such as:
  • rest, loiter and map search prompt overlaps with the actual input numbers/text (screenshots below)
  • some quest dialogue text and message text lines do not fit into text boxes
  • books are likely affected as well, but I did not check this
Screenshots:

Hm, not happening here. Do you use mods? If yes, have you tried pure vanilla?

There's already an open issue here.

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2686

I haven't given this any priority, but it will be fixed before 1.0.

No, no mods, but I should have mentioned that the Free Scaling option is on.

It's the exact same issue that Interkarma linked to from an earlier version.

As part of my retro mode rendering review, I've pushed a fix for this issue that will be included with 0.13.3 preview release.
