DrawText() sizing

procedure DrawText(ID: Byte; Text: string; Delay: Integer; Colour: Longint; Scale: Single;X,Y: Integer)

is it possible to have it scaled less than 1 sense with the scale of 1, its really large; and with the scale as a 1/__, it just doesn't draw anything; and with a decimal, it crashes :(
do singles not support decimals or something? is it possible to change this in the future?
i really was looking forward to this but never realized that the scale of 1 was that large and that i cant use decimals. :'(

EDIT: i can use decimals, but its only between 0 and 1 that it isn't allowed???? o.O?
Why in the world would there be a thing so you can use basically any number, including fractional numbers, except when its between 0 and 1.... Thats just crazy :P

I noticed this too.
The message I wrote was too large to show with scaling set to 1, so I tried 0.7 and it didn't work.

Seems to crash when i type in a decimal, but when I type a fraction, it doesn't... but it also doesn't draw any text if the fraction is between 0 and 1.
I heard to fix scaling in 2.6.1 by subtracting .8, but..... thats a decimal, 1 is WAYY to large, and i try both .2 and 1/5, then crash, or nothing shows.

Have you tried it with the new Dedicated Server 2.6.1 ?
I've started scripting these days, and I never had problems with DrawText() and decimals on the variable Scale... I used numbers only between 0 and 1 (0.1 , 0.2 ... , even 0.415 - I think it supports 6 decimal algarisms) and it just works fine.
