What's new in 1.99.3

  • FIXED (pull request #231, thanks quasarj) - LETTERS NO LONGER DRIFT APART IN THE MIDDLE OF WORDS UNDER WINE AND CROSSOVER. Text came out reading "an d th is" and "bun dles" - gaps of a pixel or two opening inside words. Nothing was wrong with the font: the letters were positioned correctly and then drawn in the wrong places. Windows places each letter with fractional precision; Wine drops the fraction instead of carrying it, so the error builds across a line and appears all at once as a gap. EQBuddy now asks for whole-pixel letter positions when - and only when - it is running under Wine. Windows is untouched.
  • AND YOU CAN TURN THAT OFF IF YOU RUN THE WIDGET LARGE. Options - Look has "Keep letters on whole pixels", and it only appears on Wine or CrossOver because it is the only place it means anything. Whole-pixel letters are lined up before the widget is scaled, so above 100% the text softens; if you would rather have sharp text than perfect spacing, untick it. No restart.
  • FIXED (pull request #231, thanks quasarj) - BOLD TEXT UNDER WINE AND CROSSOVER IS PROPERLY SPACED AGAIN, and the small-caps headings are back. EQBuddy bundles its own font for Wine, because Wine ships none of the Windows ones - and it was bundling only the plain weight. Asked for bold with no bold to give, Windows fakes one by thickening the plain letters where they stand, which widens every letter without moving the next one along. That is most of the numbers, every card heading and every stat value. The real semi-bold and bold now ship, and so do the small-capital letters that headings like "dps" and "kills" are drawn with.
  • Zone-knowledge imports no longer try to put a respawn clock on a raid-instance boss or a triggered spawn, and the preview says why instead of calling it a risky number. Before, those rows read "no local baseline to corroborate" under a checkbox offering to apply them anyway - and ticking it did nothing for them.
  • EQBuddy is a BETA - if something reads wrong, tell us: (gear) - Help - Send feedback.
