Hi!
Well I wrote to the support about this already, but Just wanted to know if there’s any chance for this to be considered for the next version.
I have this app that pull and present content from a remote site, and shows it dynamically setting the fonts with DroidSerif / DroidSerif-Bold on Android devices and Helvetica / Helvetica-Bold on iOS devices. The iOS devices looks perfect no matter the resolution of the device’s screen. But, on the Android side this is different; the font appears all pixelated, I mean with no antialiasing, so they looks very very ugly, so bad that this prevents an app to be for production because the text is not readable… With low-res I mean 480x320 pixels screen resolution. On bigger resolutions of course this will not be seen. So please play a little with lower resolution Android devices screens if you get a chance.
Here’s a little video of the iPhone and Android devices showing a list of fonts and displaying them on the screen:
iPhone: http://www.ibobx.com/Video/fonttestiphone.m4v
Android: http://www.ibobx.com/Video/android21fonttests.m4v
The code for this tests is simple, here is it:
local bg = display.newImage("bg.png");
local fonts = native.getFontNames();
local fontcount = table.getn(fonts);
for i=1, fontcount do
local text = display.newText(fonts[i],20,i\*24,fonts[i],15);
text:setTextColor(0,0,0,255);
end One thing to note is that native apps, I mean the ones built with the Android SDK, the fonts looks good. So this is something regarding OpenGL I think?
Hope there’s a way to solve this…
Thank you very much!
Bob.
