I have looked at three Texture entries in the current IF Comp, (+=x, And You May Find Yourself, Tohu Wa Bohu), and I see the same issue in all three.
The text inside the buttons appears really tiny, like a 2-point font. On my 1080p monitor, it’s almost illegible.
I’m using Firefox 63, and I don’t know of any weird settings that would cause this. (And I can’t think of any other weird font size behavior in my normal browsing.)
I vaguely recall @CMG explaining that it’s impossible to have blank verb choice blocks in Texture and that he had to employ trickery and use placeholder text and make it very small, and then overlay them somehow with HTML or CSS? Perhaps the glitch isn’t that the text is small, but you’re not seeing the overlay?
(Sorry, didn’t mean to necro this thread, but it popped up somehow as new for me.)
I did have to chop around inside Texture to make a few little tricks work, but nothing I did should’ve made the text appear tiny like that. It didn’t just happen with my game either. I tried to look into what was causing it during the last IFComp and could never figure it out.
It’s a tricky bug that’s related to calculating the size of the font inside the choices (long texts are scaled down until they fit inside the box) and hard to replicate. I’m working on the next version right now, I’ll try to see if I can find the cause and fix it.
Hmm… Five years later (2023), this problem still seems to be happening. I have observed it in all five of the Texture entries in IF Comp. I’m still using Firefox for Windows.
Here’s a sample:
It’s also visible in Autumn Chen’s livestream vod from October 1 (starting at about 6:30):
I’ve just tried Firefox and Chromium under Ubuntu Linux, same problem. Very hard to play these games this way! (Well, I suppose I can just increase the font size of the main text to something very large, but it’s not ideal.)
