In my app, I am trying to get a few user input data …
Input field label strings are using display.newText() function specifying a specific font - that scales for different screen sizes.
How to similarly scale user input data text (from display.newTextField) font size to match the label ? [import]uid: 48484 topic_id: 30821 reply_id: 330821[/import]
Yeah, I can’t figure this out either.
Anyone???

I haven’t worked on this yet, but here’s a link to the tutorial that suggests how we may go about accomplishing it:
Look at the section entitled Not Normal Display Objects!

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the link, Naomi.
The issue is with Custom fonts - especially on Android devices.
Font size for display.newText vs. display.newTextField varies for different android devices - a challenge to come up with one. Also, display.newTextField height need to be adjusted for different devices.
i wish and hope there is a workaround for this issue. [import]uid: 48484 topic_id: 30821 reply_id: 127361[/import]
@ZippyMind, as far as I know, there isn’t any workaround for it at this time. And… I thought I’d post a link to the topic thread about it, and I just noticed you have commented in that thread too, so I suppose you are very much aware of what Tom posted (in reply post #12) plus what @dennis20 posted (in reply post #20)… Anyhow, just in case other people are interested, here’s the link:

@Naomi - Yes, I am following the newTextField thread for updates on the issue.
BTW, this one was created before I stumbled up on the other thread/discussion on the issue.
