1.7.4 font style on Windows

pong 10:58 AM - 16 April, 2015
Client font has changed to thin one on windows since 1.7.4
it has been hard to read title/artist name and all of letters because it is too thin font.
please turn back to previous bold font.

With the new font you can fit more letters on the cue points plus fit more on the screen for those with decent eyesight. I am a big fan of the newer font. Judging by the huge font you use I am assuming you have trouble seeing the cue point labels, etc?

I think user switchable would be the answer here in terms of font, size and color as it would help many people at one time.

You mean let the USER decide the font size? Brilliant!!!

agree

i think the thin font style is good for lower resolution PC coz it can see all letters in a narrow width. but it makes hard to read for higher resolution such as 1920px or more.

yes this is the solution for all ppl.
i hope that it will be update in future :)
by the way i'll turn back to 1.7.3 until then

Same here, if you want a bigger font, use [CTRL/CMD] + [+]

Ctrl + doesn't give you bigger font. It gives you bigger EVERYTHING , not what we need

I ran scrolling text last night with 1.7.4 and the letters were distorted.

Does this have anything to do with the font change?

I actually LOVE the new font!

Most do as it is simply more functional.
musiclee 2:12 PM - 20 April, 2015
i have yet to compare the fonts,
i used SSL this weekend, as I'm still attached to my HC4500 :-)
deejdave 2:16 PM - 20 April, 2015
You didn't try any of the beta's?
musiclee 2:20 PM - 20 April, 2015
i think i tried it in offline mode, but was not paying attention to font,
gotta try it, compare and see
nojretlas 2:33 PM - 20 April, 2015
The font look the same as SSL to me.
musiclee 2:36 PM - 20 April, 2015
cool, then i'll be used to it.
i gotta take the time to try to map my damn 4500
at least till Serato Remote gets the CUE/STOP added.
that really is the only thing holding me back, from dropping the 4500
i would LOVE to reduce the weight on my BIG 19" rack

Uninstall SV install ME.... What you talking about 😜
938MyDJ 3:38 PM - 20 April, 2015
TBH - I have been thinking about that! But I have been contemplating becoz that will make me throw 3 Serato Video licenses in the garbage.
deejdave 9:00 PM - 20 April, 2015
I always thought you needed SV along with ME....... That's pretty cool.

You didn't purchase the three SV licenses anyways did you?
938MyDJ 10:27 PM - 20 April, 2015
The first one I am using that is registered... I bought.

The other 2 un-used, from SP1 and SX2 purchases.

If this is for me...

I did! But I missed to test the Text Display.
deejdave 10:54 PM - 20 April, 2015
Nah it was for Musiclee but yeah not sure which beta (could have been beta1) but it was one of the first things I noticed as I was out of nowhere able to fit more characters on the cue points which is a HUGE deal for me.
