I am using the opengl canvas and trying to make a multiline silkscreen text block but it leans. You can see in the image that I have it left justified. I have a line there to show it is sloped. Does anyone else have a fix for this or just a new text block for each line?
Thanks
Edit July 20: "I have a line there to show it is sloped"
Strange effect.
My build does not show that effect ?
I get expected vertical align, unless I choose Centre Justify.
Even if I spin 3’ or so, the LHS is still a straight line, just sloped.
Thanks,
Yours is sloped as well?
The relevant text in the .kicad_pcb file looks like:
(gr_text “Stat1\nHi-Z\nHi-Z\nHi-Z\nLow\nLow\nLow\nHi-Z\nHi-Z” (at 146.304 67.056) (layer F.SilkS)
(effects (font (size 1.5 1.5) (thickness 0.3)) (justify right))
)
I should have said that line there is just to show the sloped nature of it.
Not happening to me 4.0.2-4 +6225 Linux 64 on an Intel laptop.
This might be also an OpenGL driver bug on your system.
Please raise your bug with system details as well as the build info
