Question - Code Fonts taller than supposed to be??

Seems like fonts are much taller than it's supposed to be? I'm sure it's not my fonts! Worked fine in GM:S. It started to happen after I manually imported my game. Is this a bug that I need to wait for to be fixed or is there something bad on my end?

EDIT: Fixed GMS2 to GM:S (Mistake)

Where are you drawing the fonts?

If they are in the DrawGUI event have you set the GUI resolution?

1. In the draw gui event. 2. I set the gui resolution 3. I have basically the same project I had in GM:S (which it worked perfectly on) and it stopped working on GMS2 4. I think it's actually a bug so I gotta wait for my game to not be derpy :D

There was a bug where the current DPI was used for generating the font at the selected size, this obviously caused the font to be incorrect. This was fixed a fair while ago, and as far as I know it should be in the Desktop beta version.

Hmm interesting. I have the latest version and I own the desktop beta. Are you sure you really pushed that fix into an update?

I'm on the latest version too, and I'm getting issues with aliasing - it still looks awful - even on the texture group manager
See anti-aliasing on:
aliasingOn.PNG
Yuck.
And anti-aliasing off - looks better, but not smooth
aliasingOff.PNG
All font settings are visible, it looks yuck and enabling texture interpolation does not help either.
As for how the font should appear - exactly the same as it appears in the GMS2 IDE. It appears fine in the "Sample Text" preview, but nasty everywhere else

EDIT: Also - I'm not sure, but - isn't there supposed to be a little padding above and to the left of the characters too? Maybe that's just he texture preview though. I noticed some other users point out that the letters were too high up (compared to GM:S), maybe this is a problem?

Like the font is sized as it has to be. What I mean by them being is taller is that there is a space below the text that is empty and still counts as there was text.
