[AD] TTF addon does not get screen DPI properly

[Paul Suntsov <siegelords_abode@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have discovered a bug in the TTF addon. On my system, it renders the glyphs smaller than they should be. This is verified by drawing a rectangle around the font, taking the al_font_text_height as the font height estimate. In my case, the estimate was way off.

I fixed this by altering this line in al_ttf_load_font():

FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(face, 0, size);

changed to:

FT_Set_Char_Size(face, 0, 64 * size, 96, 96);

That is, I overrode the default dpi of 72 to 96, which apparently matches my monitor. Now, I am guessing that this doesn't always apply for all people, since some might actually have the 72 dpi for their monitors. I am unsure how to fix this, but thought I'd bring this up.

Incidentally, for future reference, do you people prefer bug reports via the forums, this list or the sourceforge thing?
