Re: Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

 

In the Dimensions => Grid menu you can switch between dots/lines (also took me some while, I would have expected it in some preferences dialog).
I don’t think that it is a (common) wxWidgets 3.1 issue.
My OS X build uses a wxWidgets master maybe two weeks old and grid is fine both with dots and lines.

Bernhard
