+----- Thread: Pixel fonts won't install correctly. (/thread-16648.html)
Pixel fonts won't install correctly. - Speed-X - 02-14-2011
...and I'm getting pissed because Google isn't cooperating.
...But, nonetheless, any pixel font (oddly, with the exception of the Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire font that I recently downloaded....) that I've download today has not installed correctly or something.
No, I'm not having a problem with the anti-aliasing, but when I turn off the computer's anti-aliasing completely (although I really don't recall having to do that for just a pixel font....), another problem still exists (it exists even when AA'ing is still on by default.)--the size is completely screwed up.
It treats it as if its just a regular screen font, thus distorting it to the computer's liking.
I don't really know how to explain it besides saying that.
Here, maybe I'll just take a screenshot.

Even at size 8 (it won't go any lower despite anything, really.), it does that.
And the DPI setting cannot be set to anything lower than 96. I found on a couple sites that it had to be at 72 or 71 DPI to work correctly, but...yeah. Won't go any lower than 96 on my computer. I really dunno if that's the case, though.
Please, I'd really, really appreciate it if someone could help. I'm losing my patience with my computer, severely. This is just obnoxious....
Don't hesitate to ask any questions if I wasn't clear enough, because I bet I probably missed out on something. *shrug*
The font is "Semplice Regular" from this (German) website.

try disabling the Windows' anti-aliasing. In XP, you doubleclick 'My Computer', Properties, Advanced, Performance. Then uncheck the box with the antialiasing option.

I think she did already Gors.
Is it just in Wordpad, or is it also messed up in Paint or Notepad?

Gors: Yes, I did indeed do that. Thanks for your input, though. :3
Arkinea: Good question--I've only really tried it in Paint and WordPad, but mostly WordPad.
Let's see....

Yes, it does the same thing in Microsoft Paint.
As for Microsoft Word (Starter 2010)...yeah. It does the same thing, unfortunately. =\
Oh, right. I don't know if I already mentioned this or not, but I have a Windows 7 computer; if that clears anything up.

whoops, sorry
try disabling Cleartype or something then.

be aware, certain fonts only work on specific sizes. some programs like MSPaint and MSWord will automatically AA said fonts to compensate the weird font size.
