About scaling fonts

huzeyfe

I started to use Gideros just a few days ago and I loved it.

I have a problem with font scaling.
Automatic Image Resolution works with fonts. But; if the aspect ratio of logical dimensions and aspect ratio of the device are different, fonts look a little rough.
Example:
Logical dimensions: 320x480
Device resolution: 240x320

240 / 320 = 0,75
320 / 480 = 0,67

I used 0,7 to scale. I tried all scale modes but it doesn't work.

Is there any solution for that?
Thank you.

Hi,

I'm glad you love it

If you load the font with texture filtering, this may improve the quality:

local font = Font.new("font.txt", "font.png", true) -- 3rd parameter enables/disables filtering

For bitmap fonts (as shown here: http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php), it's better to disable the filtering and use scale factors like 1x, 2x, 3x, etc. For other types of fonts, enable the filtering gives better results.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

It's really much better with texture filtering.
I think the quality is sufficient for applications now.
Thanks.
