Issue rendering text

[Phodex Games]

Hi I have a small problem. I think the pictures should explain it pretty good

With font size of 12 see the terrible cut on the top?:

With font size 20 it is a little bit better but somehow not as sharp as it should be;

This is how I would expect it to look like:

I am rendering the text with the default arial.ttf font, I render the following color Vec4(0, 0, 0, 255) and with blendmode Blend.Alpha. So whats the problem? I remember the text rendered sharper another time, but I dont know what I am doing wrong atm? Any suggestions?

Hard to tell exactly if the same issue since no code was provided but it may be an antialiasing issue - if so, not quite sure why Josh has not reverted this back yet. Just set your font's style to Font.Smooth when loading.

Okey just did this and it kind of is part of the fix, it also seems to be important, if you render the text to keep the following order:

1. Set context blend mode

2. Set context font

3. Set color

4. Draw text

 

EDIT: Ok still found an issue  it seems to depend on the font size:

Font size 12:

Font size 20:

Font size 50:

The code where it gets drawn is:

--I use an renderer class, which renderes all my objects in on script, to handle render priority:
--current stands for the current rendering object
context:SetBlendMode(current.blend)
if current.font ~= nil then context:SetFont(current.font) end
context:SetColor(current.color)
context:DrawText(current.text, current.pos.x, current.pos.y)

Does nobody has any idea?

I think we just need to wait for fix. I noticed same problem and smoothing helped a lot, but it still is not as good it was before.
