The past 3-4 Omega nightly updates seem to have changed the space allotted on the menu bar for headings. I use a font called impossible.ttf for my menu bar the skin is Aeon Nox Silvo. I noticed one update got rid of the issue but then in the next nightly it returned and hasn't gone away again....yet.

I posted this same message on the skin's forum and MikeSilvo says it looks like an issue with Kodi. I don't think it's the font I'm using as it hasn't happened until Omega.

This release does NOT have the issue KodiSetup-20240422-dfb21352-Omega-x64.exe - Releases after it do have the issue.

Note how the last letter in each header is clipped. It's like the space that's allocated for the headers has been changed or something.

Perhaps caused by this backport to Omega https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/24851 of this fix https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/24799 so perhaps for this issue fix might backport https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25168 of https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25163

See if there's any difference once PR25168 is merged, if not solved you'll have to create an issue at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues?

What do you think @CastagnaIT

This...is all greek to me. All I know is my favorite font doesn't look right any longer. Tried making the size smaller but no luck there either. That's the best I can do. So I guess it's back to the stock font.

Thanks...

FYI - This issue seems to be with ANY font that is italic. I switched back to the default font (BebasNeue.ttf) for the Aeon Nox Silvo skin. I then went to skin settings>Setup the Aeon Nox Main Menu. I selected SYSTEM and edited the entry to reflect "SYSTEM". This gave me the same result as the impossible.ttf I like to use. So I went back into the font.xml file and made a change to the BebasNeue.ttf to make it smaller....from 112 to 55. This didn't get rit of the issue either.

So...looks like whatever has been done to Kodi has affected using italicized fonts on the Main Menu bar in the Aeon Nox Silvo skin.

I'm not educated enough in coding to know if this change in Omega corrected other issues or it's a bug that occurred attempting to fix a different bug/enhancement. All I know is things changed in Omega sometime after the KodiSetup-20240422-dfb21352-Omega-x64.exe nightly came out.

Looks like a regression, you should create a github issue. I was able to reproduce with current master so the backports don't help.

I wouldn't know where to start or how to word it so it could be understood by someone smart enough to fix it.

What you wrote earlier is fine. What's important is clear steps to reproduce the issue.
The issue template also requests a debug log.

To help my understanding is the issue with an italic font, or with a font.xml

Code:

<style>italics</style>

?

Well sir, I edited the font.xml file and did add the <style>italics</style> to the standard font that Aeon Nox Silvo uses for the main menu bar and it did indeed result in the issue I showed in the screen shot I included. So it does SEEM that yes that does produce the issue.

I have also made the font an Italic font by adding MENU TITLE to a menu item title and it also will result in the same issue.
