@ruckage thank you so much sir! @jdrassa fix and your request are well worth it. I plan to use it in the future. Thanks for your help.
Who needs sleep zzzzzzzzzz, sorry where was I ;)
I've modified the font by moving all the character up and it looks like it fixes the problem and doesn't seem to break the alignment in older versions of ES either. I'm not 100% sure, I have so many versions of ES now I'm losing track a bit - I'm not very organized :). I've tested it in a few different versions though including what I believe is the latest version and the gamelist text is centered on the selector bar on all of them.
You can download the font from mega: fixed font
It is a really hacky fix however so should probably be fixed correctly in the future but as long as it works that's the main thing, let me know how it goes.
It 3.40am now so I'm off to bed.

Hi, have you had a chance to try out the fixed font I posted?SNES mini/Nes mini/Famicom mini theme developer.

@ruckage hey! I am traveling a lot for work right now and don't have access to my pi. I won't be able to test until Sunday night :(
Thank you so much for taking your time to help me. I will test as soon as I get home and let you know how it works.
Edit: also, thank you so much for staying up so late to work on this. I really appreciate. Do you have a good resource on how to use font forge? Or just their site? I would like to try to learn these tricks! Thanks again.
-
I have a working fix. I just need to test it out with some more themes to verify there are no additional negative effects.
-
@ruckage I pulled down the text you created for me and it works perfectly! Thank you so much. i just added that font to my theme and only used it in the gamelist so that it doesn't effect any other alignment and it looks great. Thanks again for all the help with this!

No problem, I'm happy to help. I'm glad it works.
Looks like @jdrassa has a fix too which is good news. -
I just submitted the fix. Moral of the story is that fonts are weird.
-
@jdrassa I haven't really had the chance to follow the forum lately... do I need to do something to fix up MetaPixel, or have you fixed that?
-
@mattrixk I fixed it.
-
@jdrassa So where do we go to update? ES themes? Or somewhere else?
-
Update ES from source.
-
@pjft Thanks
-
@RedBatman Not a bother. Just remember to exit ES before updating, just in case :)
-
@pjft Oh, should I update from ssh?
-
@RedBatman There have been situations where updating it from source from within ES has caused the update to fail after several hours for lack of memory, given that ES is in the background.
But it's up to you and your experience so far.
-
@pjft Okay so I wan't able to get the update from updating emulation station from source. Where do I go to download it?
-
@RedBatman that's the only way. What do you mean you weren't able to update from source?
You can exit EmulationStation via pressing f4 and then running RetroPie setup manually to update.
-
@pjft No I did that, I went to ssh and updated emulation station from source and then i rebooted and yet some themes such as workbench still have the issue. Which is why I asked did I update from the wrong area. Where should I go to get this fixed properly
-
@jdrassa Where is the fix exactly?
