Ah, that makes more sense. They're using a customized font with different sized characters in the same font. That must make the original text of the display string in the program look a bit odd. Not how I'd program it, but when it works, it probably works quite well and will be a bit more efficient.

 

When a font is missing, a program will use a substitute, which in this case has default characters instead of custom ones, so we're seeing the original text data from the program instead of what the programmer intended. THIS is why I wouldn't have used a custom font with different character displays, although it would have complicated the programming a bit to use standard ones. Just a bit of defensive programming.

 

 

 

Agreed. And I would have agreed with you before if you'd said this instead of the personal attacks.

 

Hook

I'm sorry if I came across as attacking you.

 

Best regards,

Robin.
