[Fixed] [#18649] [2.20] Too largefont at rest stop between Linkoping and Stockholm

At the rest stop between Linkoping and Stockholm (in the direction of Stockholm, the one nearest to the highway/the one where you don't drive through the fuel station) the 'M' of the 'STOCKHOLM' sign is on a different line:

(sorry, I don't have exact coordinates)

Not sure if this is a Promods or SCS sign error

UPDATE: game.log.txt for completeness' sake can be found here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/479d2 ... 981f4525e0

It could also depend on your resolution. Some resolutions cut off the text

You mean display resolution or texture resolution? (or a combination thereof?)

I'll grab a game.log once my gamebox is on again, might be a while though, I only play occasionally.

The display resolution. Sometimes a sign fits well on 1920x1080, but not on 1280x720 :D

Ah, I guess that means they don't just pregenerate all the textures, instead they're done at runtime?

Anyway, I play at 1920x1200, for completeness' sake I've added a game.log.txt link to the first post, perhaps it can be of use to someone, otherwise, I guess this topic isn't a bug, though it was still nice to learn something new about the game.

It usually depends on the developer's screen resolution. If I use 1440x900 and make a text that barely fits the text field of the sign, it may display correctly on my screen, but other resolutions may be affected negatively. Even SCS had that issue with VLF on few signs. We can prevent it if we make the text a bit smaller, but it's hard to remember about it sometimes, and only somebody else, with a different screen resolution will notice it. Maybe only 1920x1200 is affected by this sign you showed.

Yes they are generated at runtime
