FOURSPACES

Does 4 spaces. Used as a makeshift tabulator.

MAPTEXT

Standard maptext Prepares a text to be used for maptext. Use this so it doesn't look hideous.

MAPTEXT_GRAND9K

Standard size (ie: normal runechat) - Size options: 6pt 12pt 18pt.

MAPTEXT_PIXELLARI

Pixel-perfect scaled fonts for use in the MAP element as defined in skin.dmf

Four sizes to choose from, use the sizes as mentioned below. Between the variations and a step there should be an option that fits your use case. BYOND uses pt sizing, different than px used in TGUI. Using px will make it look blurry due to poor antialiasing.

Default sizes are prefilled in the macro for ease of use and a consistent visual look. To use a step other than the default in the macro, specify it in a span style. For example: MAPTEXT_PIXELLARI("Some large maptext here") Large size (ie: context tooltips) - Size options: 12pt 24pt.

MAPTEXT_SPESSFONT

Smallest size. (ie: whisper runechat) - Size options: 6pt 12pt 18pt.

MAPTEXT_TINY_UNICODE

Small size. (ie: context subtooltips, spell delays) - Size options: 12pt 24pt.

MAPTEXT_VCR_OSD_MONO

Prepares a text to be used for maptext, using a variable size font.

More flexible but doesn't scale pixel perfect to BYOND icon resolutions. (May be blurry.) Can use any size in pt or px.

You MUST Specify the size when using the macro For example: MAPTEXT_VCR_OSD_MONO("Some large maptext here") Prepares a text to be used for maptext, using a variable size font. Variable size font. More flexible but doesn't scale pixel perfect to BYOND icon resolutions. (May be blurry.) Can use any size in pt or px.

WXH_TO_HEIGHT

Macro from Lummox used to get height from a MeasureText proc. resolves the MeasureText() return value once, then resolves the height, then sets return_var to that.
