... topic: 325 Chevrons niggle posted: 31 Jan 2008 05:19 from: Martin Wynne This is the sort of thing which brings the red mist down when I'm working with Windows. It's of not the slightest significance, but for some reason that makes it all the more annoying. For some unfathomable reason, the Cleartype font smoothing doesn't work for the chevron characters( << >>, less than, greater than). No other characters seem to be affected. See: chevrons1.png But wait -- launch the screen magnifier (Start> Programs> Accessories> Accessibility> Magnifier) and miraculously the font smoothing works: chevrons2.png I've tried this on two different systems, with both nVidia and ATI graphics and they are both the same (WindowsXP). Anyone care to confirm? Now where on earth would I look for a fix? Another email to Mr Gates? Martin. posted: 31 Jan 2008 12:34 from: Paul Boyd My fix is not to use ClearType.

... only if the message was previewed before sending. It took me a while to twig that! We can't rely on everyone always previewing their messages. So now we have a significant problem. At present there is no way to get quoted text (using the built-in quote functions) delimited in the emails. Which makes reading them very confusing at best, and utterly incomprehensible if several quotes get nested. The best solution is to do what I have done above, revert to email practice and manually format copied text with chevrons. But I fear that will be a task too far for many users. I'm going to have to do what I was hoping to avoid -- get seriously into the php code and make some changes. So much for the forum saving my time! Some feedback please -- is the message editor area too big, too small, or about right? I know it depends on your monitor size, but then only if you have your browser full screen. Ideally the posting area would be re-sizable, ...
... you present such an item and make the whole drawing still look interesting. This is what I was trying to achieve with a little 'artistic license' (not that I'm an artist by any stretch of the imagination), that you can quite clearly see it's a signal gantry and looks more interesting, not just an overhead platform with nondescript black lines representing the signal arms. With this little bit of 'artistic license' and the signal arms being coloured, one can represent Home, Distant, Stop and Subsidiary signals, however, chevrons cannot be shown. This can therefore give the layout some basic form of signalling, thought not a complete signalling plan (and was not really intended to do so). I just plain wanted to make this item image look reasonable and show clearly what it is meant to be on a layout plan! I would like to clear up one point regarding my images, as I see it, these images are for use in both sketchboared and workpad to improved the look and detail of a layout, also to prove that ...
