Wingdings arrows are supposed to be misaligned?

 

Hi!

I was developing an indicator of DRAW_COLOR_ARROW type and I noticed the arrows I was using looked misaligned. Thinking it could be something of those arrows especifically, I decided to change them to another set, and they still looked misaligned. So I took a print screen, put in Paint, added some zoom in and confirmed: they are, indeed, misaligned with the candles, at least with size 1:


Are they supposed to look like that? The arrows' "body" have 3 pixels of width, so I assume they could very well be better aligned.

Given that the micro-offset is uniform in your posted image, the issue is likely your computer's display resolution/settings or hardware.

Here are some indicator arrows in Beta Build 5676 (3440 x 1440 resolution):

Hmm interesting. I'm using 3 monitors, all of which are in Full HD resolution (1920x1080) and the problem appears in all of them. I also tested in 3 different assets (WIN/WDO/BIT from Brazil's B3) and it happens in every case. My system is:

With all of that in hand, I can't figure out what could be possibly causing this situation. My GPU isn't that old!

 

Hi again,

bonus info: I remembered I have a notebook, Nitro 5 1920x1080 18" (the 3 monitors mentioned above are 23") and decided to test there. Same problem:

Then I changed the resolution to 800x600 and got the same problem.
