Upgrading to 9.0

[DavJans]

I am stuck using version 8 because if I upgrade to 9 the font in all my stacks says its the same size but doesnt fit in the space they used to fit in. Is there an easy way to fix it.

Can you post a screen shot so we can see what's going on?

It may be the font rendering bug that was fixed in v9, in which engine was not using appropriate OS calls for rendering text.

But to confirm, it would be helpful to see exactly what's happening.

You can add images (jpg and png) here directly, no need for using extra image hosters!

Hi Klaus,
Thanks.
I didn't know that was possible without extra image hosters
Directly is better
Kind regards

I have the same problem.

Stack (created with 5.5.3) and modified and opened with LC 8.19 (Windows 8.1)

.... and then opened with LC 9 (on the same PC).

And then : stack created with LC 9 and then opened with LC 8.1.9

Same issues.

Compare what you see in your LiveCode apps with other apps on the same platform, and see the Release Notes about the new font features. A little adjustment may be needed in some cases, but the result means much more conformant apps. And if you really want an older appearance, depending on how your objects are set up it may be as simple as setting the font and size in the mainstack.

There is just a proerty to change if you use an old script, it say to livecode to revert to old font/graphic sizes. I can't remember at the present.
