doestergaard Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi.I have just been wondering, why a font looks different from one control to another. As an example, I have a Label (top) and a Combo control (bottom). As the following image shows, there appears to be "more space" between words than there is in the label control?Can someone answer me on why this is happening? Thanks in advance!

doestergaard Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Okay, so it does seem to happen only if you set a different size, here it is againCode:GUISetFont(10, 0)GUICtrlCreateLabel("Specify required information", 20, 20, 300, 24)GUICtrlCreateCombo("Specify required information", 20, 20, 300, 24, 0x0003) It is really weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2015 doestergaard,I still get the same size text in both controls.

doestergaard Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Thats even more odd, what happens when you set it to classic style? Edited November 23, 2015 by doestergaard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
