Behavior in different screen - error or properties?

[Lubos]

For developing PureBasic programs I use two machines: NB with 1280x768 resolution and PC with 1920x1080 monitor resolution. In a program that uses relatively small windows (480 x 390), I noticed that longer button descriptions (which are tight when using NB) are too long for a PC. I used PureBasic 5.24 LTS (x86).

Check the Typography. Especially the used font and kerning settings.

Screenshots for comparison? In any case, always code your buttons and gadgets for the smallest resolution used, and allow extra space on left/right for higher resolutions.

First machine (notebook) - it is OK.

Second machine (desktop computer) - problem independent of the set resolution.

So far, I have solved this by using Tahoma instead of Arial and mainly reducing the size of the font.

It's easy and will fix your text-cropping issue.

Oh! That's what I wanted.

Big thanks.
