Certain themes suddenly started misaligning text selections in EmulationStation

[jdrassa]

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!

@TMNTturtlguy
No problem, I'm happy to help. I'm glad it works.
Looks like @jdrassa has a fix too which is good news.

[jdrassa]

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?

[jdrassa]

@mattrixk I fixed it.

@jdrassa So where do we go to update? ES themes? Or somewhere else?

[pjft]

Update ES from source.

[RedBatman]

@pjft Thanks

[pjft]

@RedBatman Not a bother. Just remember to exit ES before updating, just in case :)

[RedBatman]

@pjft Oh, should I update from ssh?

[pjft]

@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.

[RedBatman]

@pjft Okay so I wan't able to get the update from updating emulation station from source. Where do I go to download it?

[pjft]

@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.

[RedBatman]

@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

[RedBatman]

@jdrassa Where is the fix exactly?

[jdrassa]

@RedBatman It is in the RetroPie repository. I just rechecked the workbench theme and it is working properly for me. You should have got if you updated from source.

[RedBatman]

@jdrassa I'm sorry but where is the Repository located? Do you mean retropie setup script? If so what do I update from there? A visual aid would be helpful. Like I said earlier I did update emulation station via source. Is there something else I'm supposed to update in setup script?

[jdrassa]

@RedBatman you should just have to update emulation station via the RetroPie-Setup script. You can check the version of ES in the main options menu. The version should be v2.3.2.

[RedBatman]

@jdrassa Okay tried it again this time it worked. Wonder what happened earlier?
