The Allosaurus Rider card should be 1+*/1+* and it appears to be functioning correctly. (Just mouse over the card text here).

EDIT: I see now, in your screenshot the p/t is getting cut off on the card and it displays with the first and last characters truncated as "+*/1+" so you must have thought that said "*/1+*"

Maybe just a display issue, but the card frame might not be able to fit those characters. I dunno, Korath?

Yeah, it's cropping to the displayed area.

Ah right, not a bug then.

Still a legitimate display bug. I think the only other card with power/toughness wide enough to get cropped is Tarmogoyf, and that only by a couple pixels.

Allosaurus Rider itself was printed with very compressed text (see here and here; compare to Tarmogoyf (non-futureshift frame)). This is probably a better idea than just making the box wider, or all the power/toughness text smaller by default.

Isn't this option editable from Duel.dat, I though it was only by user preference (for font size)...

Yes, but we want the defaults to be reasonable. It's not really a good policy to ship a broken product and tell end-users "you must install x-y-and-z mods and make such-and-such preferences changes before it works right".
