We spent out time today replacing the system font, testing and releasing the build to play… So we don’t need the fix anymore… But I’m sure this is effecting many, many developers out there who don’t even realize that it is a problem… An email might be in order from Corona since this could lead to many negative reviews.

Odds are that changing to a custom font will *not* solve this problem. The reason it appears to work on your device is because the fractional text metrics being returned by Android happens to be 0.5 pixels or higher, causing the text renderer to round up to the next pixel. But if you run the same app on a device with a different resolution/DPI, then you may get text metrics lower than 0.5 pixels, causing it to round down and run into this text wrapping issue. This just isn’t a good solution.
The newest Corona daily build now always rounds “up” when we receive fractional pixel sizes from the OS when calculating text metrics. This is the correct solution.
Thanks for the info, we will rebuild and resend.

it works. thanks for the update!
