Re: [Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
The next release (for Ubuntu Raring) should help with this. We're switching to a 24px font size, and if there is a second line it appears at that same size.

I am for smaller headers as well. Maybe using the Ubuntu Light font will help a bit (apart from looking great). ** No longer affects: ubuntu-translations ** Changed in: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 Title: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+bug/628159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
I would suggest reducing the point size of the heading in cases where the translation does not fit. This has the disadvantage that it might be inconsistent between slides, but leaving the second line significantly smaller than the first line is much more noticeable and difficult to read. Slightly reducing the point size such that everything is the same size, even if means using two lines, would look much cleaner. And many users will not notice if the point size on two different slides are slightly different. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 Title: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'm closing the translations task as Invalid, as the current behaviour is a design decision, and it does not stop the translations from being shown and readable. The slideshow's package task remains open for now for further discussion if needed. ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: New => Invalid -- Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
So, to me, having a title wrap over two lines seems okay. It isn't optimal, but it feels sane and it's an intentionally controlled behaviour that was tested for. I'm honestly curious and would love to know: Is my feeling there perhaps something specific to English? Do different locales have different preferences that we could address somehow? Really, beyond wrapping over two lines, there are two options I can see right now from my end: make the title font smaller so that even the biggest title will fit, or make the whole thing wider. The second option is happening in the upcoming Maverick design (the one I linked to, which unfortunately didn't make it to the beta). It offers 700 pixels for the title, though with a larger font. In pure horizontal space, that's over 300 pixels more than in Lucid. The font being used for the title is about 1.2 the width of the one in the last slideshow. Hopefully that will make the situation better. I want to help the translations here be excellent, but I'm at a loss for what else can be done. If something in particular would improve this, please do let us know. -- Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
Sorry, but it's not an opinion. in a lot of cases you "can't" shorten sentences, by language design. In Lucid I assure you we (italian translation team) tried to do that as much as possible. As you can see in the screenshot (taken from a 'Maverick' Virtualbox installation) the issue is present in Maverick too. ** Changed in: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => New ** Also affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 628159] Re: Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line
Yep, that's by design. The text shrinks because we don't want it filling more lines (and it looks kind of ugly to have big text over many lines). This is happening with the new design as well, though to a lesser extent because the titles have more horizontal space. The second line is squeezed a little closer to the first line, too. You can preview that here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/preview-maverick/ For the time being, we can't do much about the offending strings; the slideshow you see is for Lucid. We can definitely work on this for Maverick if it's important. Probably the best way is to leave a note with the respective translation teams to let them know when their strings are a bit too long. They may be able to shorten them. -- Some ubiquity slideshow titles go (smaller) to a new line https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
