Fonts have borders?

Post by MaJJ »

Hi,

I tried to run my project on other PC and I found few bugs.
One was about the different speed - I solved it with dt, but the other one is about fonts. Each character has a strange border. Look at this:

I know that when these "pixel fonts" get bigger than they should, it'll get antialiased a little bit. That's something I could live with, but I don't get why's the border there. It doesn't show on my "dev PC".

EDIT: I see the same problem when the error log comes in:

Maybe just my computer's problem?

Sure, here it is.
I've tried to run it on several other PCs and ... some do the borders too, some don't.

Hmm, I don't get the borders. Do you have OpenGL 2.0 suppoort on your computer? Which OS?

WinXP SP3 Professional, it doesn't support OpenGL (VIA/S3 Unichrome integrated graphics card).
Another try ...

So, are computers without OpenGL forced to see it this way?

... it should not work at all on computers without OpenGL.

Do you know if your chip supports Direct3D?

It's said to support D3D a little. Well, it's office computer, not gaming one - I'm glad it runs, even though with flaws.

That card is an updated version of what looks like a ten year old card? It's probably just running off a software implementation of OpenGL. That's what Windows does if the graphics card doesn't have support.

Expect performance ranging from mediocre to horrible, depending on how complicated your game's graphics are. Anything using particles is a road to instant low fps, in my non-accelerated experiences.
