One thing the font string weight value of 63 to set BOLD no longer works ???
For some reason it has a new value is 75 ???

Why the change ?

Which API are you referring to?

--Mark

FontRegistry, Get(family as String, size as Integer, bold as Boolean, italic as Boolean) as String
string = family, font-size, pixel-size, style-hint, weight, style, underline, strikeout, fixed-pitch, raw-mode

I'm using the default font for roImageCanvas and by varying the values for the string came up with this:
family null - using default
font-size 1 to 100 - 0 = effectively size 12, size of 30 and 21 returns trash for text, 0's for alpha characters.
pixel-size (-1) - Neg No effect, Pos Same as font size
style-hint (5) - No effect
weight (1) - Value of 63 = bold, after update to 5.3 3019 changed to 75 ????
style (0) - Mod(x,4) = 1,2,3 italics 0=normal
underline Non-zero = underline
strikeout Non-zero = strike through
fixed-pitch No effect
raw-mode No effect

I don't know the answer offhand but my first reaction is, why do you care? The string should be treated as opaque. You get it from ifFontRegistry.Get() and you pass it to roImageCanvas. There's no reason you should be parsing the pieces out of it. I provided that information for you earlier for debugging and informative purposes, but your code should not depend on the format or contents of the font description string.

I am try to resize the font for unknown text with an unknown length that has to constrained to a fixed rectangle.
Mainly because Roku only supplies one canned font with four sizes and I don't have the space required to provide an external or packaged font.
Trying to maintain the size so the app will run on all boxes.
