display.newText that uses custom font does not scale in simulator since 2012.769

Case #13065

Basically, if you’re using a custom TTF the simulator doesn’t scale the text properly. If you build it renders ok on my device (I don’t have an iPad to test on…)

So I have to use native.systemFont until I’m ready to build.

I just reported a similar bug. I also noticed that the reference points are wrong too. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 23766 reply_id: 95588[/import]

I just tested my app on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) and it’s also showing this behavior.

Hey guys, can I grab bug # from you, please? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 23766 reply_id: 95677[/import]

#13121

Here is a screen shot from 767 (using display.newRetinaText, iPhone4 skin)

Here is the same screen from 773:

Here is another screen from 773, but this screen has been converted to display.newText:

Fonts used:

Helvetica-Bold for the Title
Helvetica for the caption text
Helvetica-Oblique for the Byline and URL

Not only are the fonts not scaled correctly, but the reference points are also out-of-whack…

EDIT: I only included the 3rd screen shot in the bug report, having the other two might be useful too. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 23766 reply_id: 95727[/import]

Sorry, I saw that second read through - my bad.

Thank you both, will bring this up in next meeting :slight_smile:
