Some incorrect font being used on key binding screen (Mac OSX)

[Daniel-Griffiths]

Picture of the issue:

On Mac OSX the font is being incorrectly rendered for some keys on the keybinding menu.

It looks like the right font. Mac symbolizes "UP" as an arrow and "SPACE" as as an undescore, not much to do about that.

But for some reason the shadow gets rendered in yellow. Strange.

Please guys have a look at the markup. One can directly embed pictures using

I always edit that if I come across a picture link. It's just easier if the picture is right here.

Thanks I did not know that, I will use that in future.

Can you check if it looks better now?

[Daniel-Griffiths]

Sorry I don't have access to my computer atm (on an iPad) I will test tomorrow.

[Daniel-Griffiths]

Thanks for trying to fix it but now all the text looks like that.

[danielduner]

Interesting. For some reason the colors work differently on Mac

[danielduner]

This issue is only about the fact that Mac uses arrows to describe arrow keys and an underscore to describe space. Do we think this is a problem that should be manually fixed in some way?

For the bug with the broken Mac unicode fallback font see: #508

[Daniel-Griffiths]

If you dont have any luck fixing to fonts I think the best solution would be to just roll back the changes. Having a few funny looking keys in the key bindings menu wasn't really a big deal but having all the menus looking like that gets pretty annoying.

[danielduner]

Rolling back is not an option. There are no known new bugs in the new system (just less bugs). The existing Mac bug is just more visible due to the fact that the game doesn't force text to be in upper-case, but this will be handled by #518

This issue is just about how Mac displays arrows and space. But it has gotten confused with lots of other bugs.

@BubblegumBalloon
How do you feel about the current state of the key binding screen?

[Daniel-Griffiths]

It looks just as good as the rest of the font, the issue can be closed. :)

[danielduner]

Great!

The space symbol is still a bit weird, but that's just how MacOSX likes to do it.

[Daniel-Griffiths]

Well we have the mouse and arrow options for shooting now so I doubt many people will even use the old space bar way anymore. Its not too bad anyway, I think most people will know what it means.

[danielduner]

Ah, excellent. If people select space themselves, they will instantly understand what it means:
