Now that I actually watch the time going through the seconds, it seems that the "0" is the only number that is actually bigger than the others in size
Tip:

Code: Select all

[0] 
Meter=String
FontFace=#TitleFont#
FontSize=60
AntiAlias=1
Text="0"
Solidcolor=255,0,0,100
...

[1] 
Meter=String
FontFace=#TitleFont#
FontSize=60
AntiAlias=1
Text="1"
Solidcolor=255,0,0,100
...

[2] 
Meter=String
FontFace=#TitleFont#
FontSize=60
AntiAlias=1
Text="2"
Solidcolor=255,0,0,100
...

[3] 
Meter=String
FontFace=#TitleFont#
FontSize=60
AntiAlias=1
Text="3"
Solidcolor=255,0,0,100
...

With this you should get the real width and height of the numbers. Important is the Solidcolor ;-)

I don't have that ALGERIAN font, and it is a commercial font, so I'm not really able to do much with this.

Trouble is, the width of a meter with a number as the text as an individual is different than the width of a meter with two numbers in it...

Below is two meters with X=R relative positioning, followed by a single meter with both numbers.

Even if I had the font to test with, this might be really tricky...

Okay well dont worry about it if its going to be a pain. I was just curious if it could be done and what it would take to do it, and if I was able to learn how to if possible. Im not sure where the font came from, Must of been from a skin installation file which I no longer have. Thanks for all the help though! Im sure Ill be posting again for something else. :)
