old UI and displayed text
  This happened to me a couple of times, maybe someone wants to correct this, or maybe not. It's about the text displayed in pages of old UI (the one I use). I attach an installer and if you run it you'll see that the 'e' is half hidden. Maybe I am too perfectionist, but it's not the first time this happens to me, so I decided to post.


Another thing, I want to add a line with text in the components list (like winamp or abiword does), but I am uncapable of finding how to do it, in nsis docs or abiword's .nsi in the archives. Can anybody enlighten me?

Thanks everyone.

What 'e'? Where? I don't see anything cut off.

That line of text has been removed since 2.0a0. You can't use SectionDivider in NSIS 2.

I mean the 'e' in the interface. I attach a close snapshot.

ok... since you "Dirtext" is too big...add breaklines,
for example:

DirText "Hello I'm a big line.$\r$\nJump text line"  "..." "..."

NSIS knows when some text is too long, but (in this case) it misses for some pixels.

I know it's not big deal, but just wanted to leave this here.

Does it do the same if you use the same text for ComponentText? Have you changed the font of the installer? Can you attach a simple and minimal script that shows the cut off?

Here's the text. It happens with both pages.

ComponentText "This folder will be replicated to the running path with zero bytes files, only tree structure will remain."


>DirText "This folder will be replicated to the running path with zero bytes files, only tree structure will remain."

No problems to me, also tested with large fonts

Upps, I found the problem in Win9X and NT4, maybe OS bug :P with wordwrap

We'll try to solve the problem,
