Noobie Q No. 1

EDIT: Oops. I put this in the wrong forum

I *like* MCE.
I'm tweaking it... need a bit of help...
Goal: Change recording group lists and recording show titles to use the font named "Arial Black" (many pixels per letter), 24 or 26 pt.

Enclosed is an example of this font not being centered in its containing object. If I could move the font baseline up, the descenders would not be chopped off. Odd, but I accidentally cure this in some panels, but I don't know what I did and I cannot find how to control it.

I also don't know how to control the size of the containing object - which, I assume, determines how many rows are displayed.

Thanks in advance.

MCE??

I think he meant SageMC, at least that is what the attached pic is of.

DOn't know anything about studio, so can't help there.

I had a look in Studio, and found no way to change this either. It's some weirdness with this font and size (size 20 e.g. is fine)

Thanks. I could find no way to correct the problem for font size of 22 or more.

I understand that answers to questions like this must come from forum particpants. Sage declines to help with Studio-related questions via the support desk.

PS: Yes, above I should have said SageMC rather than (Sage) MCE.

PS: Yes, above I should have said SageMC rather than (Sage) MCE.Try using a negitive inset on the item widgets. (I.E. -0.01) Does that help any? Also if -0.01 doesn't help you can try specifying each dimension (I.E. 0.00,-0.01,0.00,-0.01). It may not work but it's worth a try.

There is a bug with font metric calculations in 6.2 with 3d off, but I am not sure whether this is an instance of it. If this is a Windows client, do you have 3d accelleration on or off, and if off, does changing it to on help?

[stevech]

Thanks - the client for debugging is WIndows XP SP2. But the real end use is for the MVP - which *is* the impetus for fatter/bigger fonts. Would the rendering look different for the MVP? I should try that.
