Legacy GM Custom fonts broken in 1.4.9999 [SLIGHTLY SOLVED!]

[Phoebe Klim]

Just updated my GM:S to 1.4.9999 and my custom fonts are looking like this:





^ This part should say ABCDEFGHI so it's off.

I'll try fixing with font_add_sprite_ext()

The first post of the 1.4.9999 announcement topic says to report bugs directly in that topic

Seems like only IDE crashing bugs will be fixed though, but might as well try posting it.

font_add_sprite_ext() fixes it.

Not sure, but if you try to replace ord("!") to $21, cause maybe they not broken font_add_sprite, but ord() ? Or ord("!") - 6 (cause from second screenshot I can see that A is 6 letters to far).

( $XXXX is a hex representation in GMS, so $21 == 0x21 == 33, which is number of "!" character in ASCII/UTF).

fnt_medium = font_add_sprite_ext(spr_medium_font, "!'#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", true, 2);

^ Easier and more concrete, I think.
But I don't know how to use both ' and " this way.

EDIT:

fnt_medium = font_add_sprite_ext(spr_medium_font, '!"#$%' + "&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", true, 2);

?

Try subtracting 2 from your ord value when using font_add_sprite()...someone suggested it in the .9999 thread, and it seems to work for me.

EDIT: Sorry, quick change from "add" to "subtract"
