WME: Some text is cut short

Reported by: raziel- Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Wintermute
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Wintermute

Description (last modified by raziel-)

ScummVM 2.1.0git (Jul 2 2019 12:57:32)
Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 Theora AAC A/52 FreeType2 JPEG PNG cloud (servers, local)

In the main menu the font drawing is handled wrong. It looks like as if the font is drawn a pixel to high or wide, either way the menu options are cut on the right side (see attachment)

The options should read

Spiel fortsetzen
Spielstand laden
Spielstand speichern
Optionen
Zum Hauptmenü (not sure about the umlaut here, could be a "u" instead)

Not sure if this is the same behaviour, but since there is also text cur short i'm going to add it here.

Five Lethal Demons (Windows/English) displays the same problem, but in-game.
I have found found two instances where explanation texts are cut short.
Namely the in the first room the text for "artist" is cut and displays only "artis".
In the second room "light" is cut to be only "ligh".

I have to add that this is not from the beginning, i have to play for some time to make it appear.

Use the attached save and simply hover the mouse pointer over the "artist"

Probably the same as #6573

comment:3 by raziel-, 6 years ago

This is nearly fixed.
Every text is fine now, except all instances of "Zurück" which is still cut one character short and reads "Zurüc".

Just checked with the original interpreter, "Zurück" is spelled correctly there, so no typo in the original

Description: modified (diff)
Summary: WME: 1 1/2 Ritter - Menu font problemWME: Some text is cut short

Update:
this does not only affect 1/1 Ritter, but more games, so i generalized the entry description to the whole Wintermute engine.

At least with Myth: A Guff's Tale there are many more instances (pretty much every longer sentence describing an object one can interact with), see screenshots

that would be "vent" and "barrel", if anyone wonders
