 404 has BIG changes. In fact everything after 356 is largely experimental/incomplete and definitely unreleased.
By all means try it (or just grab fixes from it), but even if it seems to work, don't trust it :)
Cheers,
Andy.

Result. That did the trick. Thanks.
Hadn't noticed I was that far behind. Guess a release thing (hang on loading 404 from 355, may be a problem with MC 1.5 though (have tried to keep up with kph's changes).

The string is truncated.Almost certainly this is due to the widthOfString... method. You could try the most recent incarnation of this method, which I have attached.This is a tricky one to get right, so there are no guarantees that it is now correct. But give it a go, it may improve things, even if it doesn't fix it completely.Cheers,Andy.

Look at the "HSV color selector" label for an idea:

Probably a problem with the #widthOfString:... method.

Perhaps I have misunderstood the problem? Are you getting truncated characters with the right hand side missing? Or something else? Could you post a screen capture to illustrate the problem? I may have another fix for whatever is happening. Cheers,Andy

356 looks much the same for me. I have modified StringMorph etc (for the new look, as "fixes") to set the bounds, when shrink wrapped to the minimum extent reported by the font. Perhaps that calculation is a bit off. Just a thought...

After loading, switch to HintingLight mode in the Preference browser. (If you already have HintingLight selected, then switch to HintingNone, and then back to HintingLight - this will clear any caches). Cheers,Andy

Me too!
Would be nice to get the kerning sorted, though doubtless would be harder work! ('r's at the end seemd particularly prone).
