With the game i'm working on at the moment i have the problem that always the lowest dialog option gets
cut off. I have a picture here to demonstrate what i mean.

And i can't figure out why ags does that. Has it do do with the font used? Font size or something?
Any help/hint would be greatly apprichiated.

Change the font to a "normal" one, then check if it's still cut off. There's a lot you can do on your own to debug stuff like this.
The more we get the impression posting here wasn't the first thing you did when you encountered a problem, the more likely you are to receive help.

Also, you forgot the "du" in "Was machst du hier?"  :=

Ah well yes with a "normal" font it displays correctly.. but why doesn't it do it it with this font?
And thanks Akatosh  ;D Really didn't see that

It looks like the font is simply too big to display within the screen area using the default dialog option box. One possible solution could be to check the "Dialog options on GUI" box in general settings, and then sizing/positioning that GUI so that all options will fit onto the screen (i.e. make it taller and position it higher up on the screen to leave room for the last option).

Scarfy

hmm. Makes sense.. well gonna try that then. Thanks for your help  :)

Looking at the screenshot you posted, I can also suggest moving all the dialog options up a bit (as there is a little bit of space at the top), in case you'd prefer the built-in dialog GUI:

on game start:
Code: ags
game.dialog_options_y = -5; // you may need to adjust the value

I think your problem(since I've encountered it myself does not lie on font.)
Are you using a dialog GUI?
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Well i don't use a dialog gui. Its just the standart dialog gui. What has been your problem?
I changed the font to another where it now doesn't cut off.
Can't find the font i used there anymore.. its wierd.. it's a less beatifull font but works also.
