Clock colon glitch

I am using the font Trebuchet MS in the 'time clock' field. There was no issue with the default font, but when using this font I see a tiny glitch.

The colon blinks when the clock is in view, and that I know is standard function. When using Trebuchet, when the colon disappears, the characters to the right of the colon shift left 1 pixel (the width of the colon). Is there a way to counteract this from within Xion?

Hmm, have been asking for fixed width font handling for years *cough* ;)
Trebuchet MS isnt a fixed width font afaik so it will have that issue.

That's strange, I tried the same thing here and it works perfectly.

My Layer name was "time clock fn(Trebuchet MS)"

Does that work for you? If so, what is your layer name so I can reproduce here?

Its the fs(10) that's causing it. If you use the default font size its fine.

Eventually once I get some form of fixed width support in, this will be fixed. Till then, try a different font size, or a different font.
