In CD-Menu Creator you can change font by choosing the Options menu item in the File menu. In Visual Installer you can change font by choosing the Editor options menu item in the Special menu.
How to change font for the editor manually But you can, of course, choose another font manually if you prefer to do this. So the editors will automatically switch font if this problem occur. In the latest version of Visual Installer and CD-Menu Creator this problem does not exists anymore because both editors will automatically search for a font that has the same size as the font that has a problem. This is a rare condition, but will happen in special circumstances *. The new font handling in Visual Installer and CD-Menu Creator will also solve the problem with “too large font size” that sometimes happens when a system font with a requested size is not available in the system and the substitute font (chosen by Windows) is somewhat larger and the text will therefore not fit in the space that is reserved for the text. We have included some fonts that you can choose among, and we will increase the list with fonts with time.
To handle this situation in the best way in our software we have updated Visual Installer and CD-Menu Creator to allow you to choose your own font for the editor. And then you must also take into account that people also prefer different fonts. Using one and the same font in a software with all versions of Windows, graphic cards, displays and DPI settings, and expecting the result always to be perfect, is nearly an impossible mission. There is already functionality in CD-Menu Creator to set absolute positions for buttons (via the Button Options dialog box) but this new method can also be used for buttons, if you prefer it and want to be consistent with how to set coordinates for objects. The main title coordinates have been set to and the sub title coordinates have been set to :Īlso button’s positions can be set in this way See also the picture below for an example. The actual title must then be placed after the ending bracket. When you add coordinates to a title, the coordinates must be set between brackets, “”, and the X coordinate and the Y coordinate must be separated with a comma (“,”). In the example the X position is set to 10 pixels and the Y position is set to 50 pixels.
Below is an example where X and Y has been replaced with numerical values: Where X specifies the X position of the title and Y specifies the Y position of the title (in pixels). To set coordinates for a title, subtitle and button group titles, you can add a prefix before the actual title text. This is useful if you really want to have total control of these objects’ positions in a menu window.
But now you can set the coordinates for these objects manually. Normally the X and Y position of a title, subtitle and button group titles are set automatically by CD-Menu Creator.
In the latest update of CD-Menu Creator we have added this functionality. You can now in CD-Menu Creator set an absolute position for a title, subtitle and button group title.
