Font scaling issues

  @Krisis, I had a similar problem and the Gideros Player worked fine but the one on the xCode simulator had similar issues. @Atilim had a look and found that the issue was due to the implementation in the XCode simulator by the 3rd party contractors of Apple that made the simulator. This looks similar to that, however you said it is on the device so it could be slightly different.

  Yeh, it looks even worse when I view it in the Xcode simulator.
  
  I tried the math.floor suggestion and that seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks.

  Sounds like it could be down to the way subpixels are implemented in the display hardware, it's very common in OpenGL to add in 0.5 to your coordinates to help round out these errors.

  Not sure if this is any help for you, but I found that if I use floating point in the position, the fonts ripple, especially when moving them around, this can happen when you do what I do and instead of using real coordinates, I use somthing like width*.9 to get a reletive position so I dont care what the size is, only the % position, then I need to place a math.modf(width*.9) in places where i have this problem, with fonts.....
