GOG The Excavation at Hob's Barrow Font Issue

[taak]

I tried both 2.6.1 release from the site and the one from the Play Store. The menu font ant the subtitles are rendered improperly, they appear too bold and are ineligible. Can anyone help with this?

In general, 2.6.1 is definitely the better version to be testing with, since it includes many AGS engine related patches and fixes since the version that is on the Play Store.

I am aware of various issues with font rendering on the AGS engine but those are not specific to the ScummVM Android port. Are you able to test on a Windows or Linux platform and report back if the issue is also present there?

(I do not own this game so I cannot test myself).

The issue is not present on the PC version. The game also runs a bit sluggishly, but that could be my tablet. It's the only AGS game I'm having issues with. The issue is present in the menu as well as in game. Anyway thank you for the gift to humanity that is ScummVM <3.

Thank you for clarifying. Seems that it's a bug specific to Android port then.
Could you open a ticket on our bug tracker about this?

The issue is not present on the PC version.

That's not entirely correct. That game uses a specific plugin for the fonts, and is supported only in the development version (2.7.0). Older versions (2.6.1 included) don't support it and the game is not even detected. The same happens on Android if you are using version 2.6
In any case, the game doesn't work properly. You'll get crashes right after the prologue (at the train station) and the dialogue menus don't work.

You are correct I apologize. The issue is present in both Android and PC versions. (I ran the executable for PC without ScummVM -.-) But the 2.7 version fixes the issue on PC.
