Font question

[tgray]

I've noticed with certain complex numbers (and maybe others), the classic and new fonts display differently. Try the following in ALL display mode:

Code: Select all

.1
LN
LN

The new font shows

Code: Select all

834.E-3 i3.14E0

while the old font shows

Code: Select all

8.34032445248E-1 i3.

I have my font size at the second largest setting. Other sizes display differently between the two fonts as well. I think the two smallest font sizes display the same with both fonts.

What is the reasoning behind this? I feel like the display truncation that the new font uses is more useful.

That's peculiar. Your first (new font) example just looks likes ENG 02 display mode. I tried reproducing this on mine, but couldn't. I was thinking maybe it remembered which display mode you had selected for each font, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks for the report. We're looking at it.

The bug has been found and fixed. This will work as expected in V3.1, which is imminent. Keep an eye on the "Firmware Update announcement" section of this forum.
