Label font size in 0.9.4

I've just upgraded my app to the 0.9.4 SDK, and the Labels now appear to render several point sizes smaller.  Is this an expected issue?  

 

As 0.9.3 was the first version I used can any non-newbies advise if 0.9.4 fixed something from 0.9.3 and i should adjust my font sizing, or if 0.9.4 has changed now.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Phil

Re: Label font size in 0.9.4

I've noticed the same issue.

 

It seems the default font for Label components (and all other components) has changed to Myriad Pro. Not sure if it's a permanent change or a bug, or perhaps an issue with my copy of vmware/simluator.

 

The font used in the previous version (v0.9.3) was called "BBAlpha Sans". You can change back to it by setting a TextFormat object on each Label with the font name "BBAlpha Sans".

Re: Label font size in 0.9.4

I noticed this behavior as well, I had to change the font size to make my labels as readable as I wanted.

"The font used in the previous version (v0.9.3) was called "BBAlpha Sans". You can change back to it by setting a TextFormat object on each Label with the font name "BBAlpha Sans"."

 

Was the default font size changed as well (and if so, what was it before?).

I just "upgraded" my app from running 0.9.3 to 1.0.1, and of course my UI was messed up (= mostly the labels were no longer nicely readable).

 

I know that the default font has changed (and I changed it back) - but still, for a TileList that I'm using I had to decrease the font size for all elements in the single rows/columns so that all the text fits in again - however, the text is now much smaller and way more hard to read :-(
