Note that this font only includes ASCII characters, so isn't suitable for displaying information from tags. Specifying "1" for font will use the currently selected user font (FONT_UI). From ABi:

Old: %e|x|y|width|fontnumber|fontcolor|
New: %V|x|y|width|height|font|fgcolor|bgcolor|

From FS#8385:

Zim - that's what I said back in the "warning about wps patches" post - once viewports are accepted* those patches will be closed. * There was discussion about whether to close them earlier or wait until viewports were committed. Either way, once viewports is in SVN, those patches will be closed. I think the patches that are definitely going to be closed are [fs]2954[/fs] and [fs]5900[/fs], though I think others might be as well. major_works - I agree, one advantage to going to viewports is it will be a lot easier to sync patches, at the expense of having quite a few themes not work until converted. Zim, that means your themes can still work, you just need to port them. Seeing that somehow the build updated while I was rebuilding, I can really say that the build uses viewports, along with Digi's. Kugel has told me that his next build will be using viewports as well, meaning that current themes will only work with old builds and cpchan's build.

Going to Viewports will make your life much easier. The big thing now is converting all the themes that relied on the WPS patches. Ooohh... ouch on that pastebin link.

And that means that many (if not all) themes that rely on those patches, including my super awesome theme;{ , will die.
