Scroll Text and Screen Resolution

Post by SpiderFighter »

This may be obvious to some of you, but I thought I'd share. Ancylus recently was testing my mod and discovered the scroll text was frequently outside the frame of the scroll for him, even though it was fine on my end. Long story short: My monitor is set at 1440x900 while his is 1680x1050. If you're using text on scrolls, it's not a bad idea to leave extra space on each line.

are you talking vertically or horizontally?

Sorry, I missed this earlier. I'm assuming horizontally...I haven't ever seen one too tall to fit vertically (not that it won't happen, just that it would take pretty long text).

Horizontally, yes. The longest lines went over the scroll frame at left and right.

does it auto center or justify?

I believe it auto centers.
