newRetinaText multiline bug on different simulators

 local myText = display.newRetinaText("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con secte tur adi pisci ng elit.\nCura bitur ult ricies mollis ip sum sed me tus.", 0, 0, 250, 90, native.systemFont, 11)  
 myText:setTextColor(0)  
 textInfoGroup:insert(myText); --adding group to fix TopLeftReference   
 myText:setReferencePoint ( display.TopLeftReference )  
 myText.x = 155  
 myText.y = 100  

adjusting text reference for non-retina and retina works fine on iPhone3 & 4 and iPad.
(displaying at same x,y for all devices)
also looks fine in Droid, Nexus One and Sensation.

but text looks left side italic and distorted on Galaxy Tab, Kindle Fire and Nook Color simulators.
is it simulator’s bug or newRetinaText bug?
I cannot test on this devices. [import]uid: 96683 topic_id: 19176 reply_id: 319176[/import]

This looks to be a simulator bug. I ran your code and see the problem in the Mac simulator (haven’t tested Windows yet). It shows up in the Kindle Fire skin but works fine on the Kindle device. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 19176 reply_id: 74235[/import]

Regarding retina text:

display.newText() has been modified to handle “retina text” automatically, and therefore display.newRetinaText() has been deprecated since it is no longer needed.

The changes will be reflected in the next daily build (the one posted *after* 2012.770).
