Nightlies: Minetest Start-Interface unusable

[srothe]

Hi,

I use Minetest nightlies on Ubuntu 14.04, with Unity.

Since a couple days, the startscreen, where Parameters are set, Servers are chosen, etc is unusable, hence it uses a fontsize which is extremely small. The dimensions of the screen are not changed. After logging in (by chance) everything ingame works as normal. Just, to set up access to a network server or starting a new game just does not work at the moment, due to the enreadable fontsizes.

Cheers, (or "Hils" as the Norwegians say )
and many thanks for your otherwise brilliant work!

what Version of Minetest you use?

from a Repo or self compiled?
If you compile it yourself try disable freefont support.

good luck.

Hi,

I install and receive new builds from the minetest repositories through ubuntu software update service.

I suggest you try the one line compile script (see topic in general discussion)

[JPRuehmann]

Are you enable freetype in your minetest.conf?
if yes disable it.

or try the c55 Version from the original ubuntu repos.

if this not work try compile yourself from Github (without freetype)

Good Luck,

Problem is solved: It was the freetype thingy, but the other way round. The line was entirely missing in my minetest.conf. After I included it with freetype = false (as suggested), the situation improved a tiny bit, but not to satisfaction. So, out of curiosity I set it to freetype = true, and everything was back to normal.

Thanks for pointing me to the right parameter :-)
