I'd say this is a small issue but thought I'd bring it to your attention. Using Text Display For Study as well as system items where you can set the background box and text colors, the text is no longer centered inside the box. Yes, I'm using OpenGL See attached image Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-28 17:24:54

There is an inherent reason for this, and it is just how it is. Without going into a lot of technical details this is just how it is. There are some technical details about text when using OpenGL: Graphics Settings: Text Display when using Open GL One of the problems is, is that some fonts, have characters that extend below the rectangle for the character glyph and we have to allow more space underneath to prevent the text from getting cut off.

Are there fonts that will behave ‘correctly’ With OpenGl? I’m using Segue. I’ve also read your previous posts about fonts and OpenGL and chose my fonts accordingly.

Try using a different font but we are not sure what to recommend now before we do some testing.
