Maniac Mansion Deluxe font is displaying kinda weirdly

[eisnerguy1]

So, I've got Maniac Mansion Deluxe running in ScummVM 2.6.0git5128-g84e761aef8c (Apr 16 2022 06:36:27). The font is displaying kinda weirdly.

Here's a screenshot running the game in AGS:

And here's the game running in ScummVM:

Is this a known problem with AGS games?

I don't know specifically for Maniac Mansion Deluxe, but there are some known / reported issues for fonts in the AGS engine on ScummVM. @DreamMaster is working on synching the ScummVM AGS engine code with upstream so some of these may get resolved that way in the near future.

You could open a ticket about the issue, if the existing ones on the bug tracker do not cover your case.

Ok, I'll take a look at the bug tracker. Thanks!

This is interesting, I was just having issues with MM Deluxe on the iOS port of Scummvm the other day. In fact several AGS games I tried have odd behavior in iOS where the Windows port of Scumm function properly in every aspect. It's probably the first time I've seen any disparity between Windows and iOS ports of Scumm. Usually they are identical in my experience.

I didn't see any open tickets that covered my issue. So, I opened one:
