HUD on table looking different than HUD editor

Hi,

I've been messing arround with my hud lately and the HUD displayed on the table is not looking as the one displayed in the hud editor (font sizes and overall scaling). I tried disabling vector scaling but it didn't do anything. I'm also using a custom font that is not being recognized/used by PT4?

Regards.

Bitmap fonts are not supported in the Hud, so it will be using the closest font it can find, which will obviously still look a little different.

Fair enough, why is the top line looking more thick on the table than on the hud editor? I'm using text "." with a regular font on size 1 and same background and foreground colors to create that line.

The rendering code for the preview window is slightly different than that on the table. Fixing the rendering window to use the same method as the HUD engine is on our list of things to do.
