  • XDS Modula-2 versions 2.5 & 2.6 problem

    From Peter Percival@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 2 22:54:10 2016
    With both version 2.5 and 2.6 of XDS Modula-2 I get corrupted text in
    the editor pane. The right hand half of some characters is missing.
    I'm using Widows 7. Any thoughts?

    Something wrong with your graphics card perhaps?

    Works fine here on two different Win7 systems one with only basic Intel
    i7 on chip 4000 graphics and the other with an nVideo gaming video.

    Do you have any unusual font settings or low visual aids in use?
    ie something that might throw out font metrics.

    Regards,
    Martin Brown

    It has for years worked with everything else!

    No and no. That is, I have changed nothing since acquiring the computer.
