Is Strange, i’m using Mountain Lion 10.8.1 [import]uid: 69841 topic_id: 30217 reply_id: 121044[/import]
The Corona Simulator needs to run in “low resolution” mode. The setting should be automatically set for recent builds. You can verify this in Finder by right clicking on Corona Application.app and selecting Get Info. You should see “Open in low resolution” checked.
Update: @gordon1bob, this is not set in the release build, 840, so you will need to set this setting to make it work with the Retina display. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 30217 reply_id: 121046[/import]
@miguelsignes, ah, I see. So this is Mountain Lion related concern…

Thanks to all the responses. It’s encouraging to find and dedicated and knowledgable community.
Setting “Open in Low Res” did the trick.
I’ll go learn something new now.
Thanks again.

I have checked “low resolution” mode, and no works. Last build working 881.
I’m using Futura Font, and system.font
Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion 10.8.1 with Storyboard Scene Manager hello word from samples works. :\
EDIT: **Text work but outside screen.

@miguelsignes, you must have a different problem. If the shipping Hello World program works, than it’s some other Corona problem or a problem in your code. Do any of the other sample apps fail to work?
Can you post a short example of the code that is not working? Are you seeing any messages in the terminal when you run the code?
Edits: I just checked and there are only two changes that would affect you since build 881:
- Handling empty text string in display.newText
- Fixed native text objects sizing when dynamic scaling is not used. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 30217 reply_id: 121152[/import]
