V26-Issues in the BDEBUGGER !

[Peter Murschall]

wich is my Beloved Toy in TCC !
The Editor cannot use the font FixedSys. I can select it but ....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another "issue" with the Tabs:

Maybe the UTF8-Problem ?

And the last point (for today :-) )
The Debugger switch the tab window at the Command Setlocal!

Is this a new feature ?

This is a Windows 10 problem. Microsoft wants to eradicate raster fonts.

I have no problem selecting & using FixedSys (though I wouldn't *want* to -- it's a terrible font). What happens when you select it?

Another "issue" with the Tabs:

That would be a problem with the German language dll; I'll take a look at it.

WAD - when you have global aliases & functions, and you do a SETLOCAL, they get converted to local aliases & functions (provided you didn't already have local aliases/functions). This isn't new; the new thing in v26 is that is shows the global & local lists separately.

When I select FixedSys, I get this (don't know what it's called).

You get syntax coloring?

Lucida Sans Unicode?

And likewise in TCEDIT. Selecting either "FixedSys" or "Terminal" yields something that looks like Lucida Sans Unicode. A huge improvement aesthetically, but it isn't a fixed-pitch font so columns won't line up.

And I see the same behavior in BDEBUGGER v25 and TCEDIT v25. So this issue may be caused by a change in Windows, rather than a change in Rex's code.

AnrDaemon may have the right of it. Microsoft may be trying to wean us from the bitmapped fonts.

Um ... yeah. Here's Terminal 11 in TCEdit.

You'd think they'd be smart enough to choose a monospaced one.

If you have no need of characters not in PETSCII....

Yeah, FixedSys is not a beauty, but my first candidate for a fixed point or a monospaced font. If I select, it happens like Charles has it described

This is ok so far, but why must the debugger also select the tab ? This is for me an unwanted behaviour.
