    Outline in subcap still don't work correctly in 4.0.2

    Hi.

    I try outline in SUB CAP,version 3.5.4, now in 4.0.2 of MC and don't happy with result.

    Outline thikness is difference from left and right side of letter.

    If I change size of box (one point change) outline change as well and some times I get good result (same outline thikness around all letters) in first line and bad in second line of subtitle.

    This grate tool is still unuseable for work.

    Andrze,

    I have only tested the SubCap function in MC a few times.

    What I can't understand is why you would want to use an outline font in your subcaps.

    I thought that there are a few standard and accepted fonts that are used in Subcaps - because they are easily read. I would have thought that an outline font would not be easily read - even if the thickness was the same all around.

    I am not sure if you use Cyrillic fonts - so maybe they are used as outline fonts in subcaps in Poland.

    I use Japanese kanji in some of my subcaps. I would never dream of using an outline font.

    What I am getting at is that if the standard fonts for subcaps are working correctly, I don't see why fixing the appearance of an outline font would be a priority.

    My advice would be to stick to the standard fonts and the standard style.

    Regards,
    Douglas

    Douglas,

    The OP is speaking about an added outline to the font. Regular white font with a black outline for instance.

    My proplem with SubCap is that it tries to display all my fonts in a single dialogue box, which is larger than my two 22" screens, so I can't choose any fonts starting with an A or a Z (they fall of my monitors).

    Thanks for pointing that out, Job.

    I missed the point entirely.

    Andrze, sorry for my misunderstanding of your problem!
    Hope someone else can help you out.
