Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi there,

I use a bitmap font in one of my games and it look great on Android 5 but it’s impossible to read on Android 6. 

I update Corona and it didn’t solve the problem.

Any idead what can be the cause of this problem?

I leave the link to the game in the Playstore (it’s a free educational game) with a gameplay similar to Fruit Ninja.

I use the bit font map when the player make a combo or a critical hit.

The text for combos look great on Android 5 but impossible to read in Android 6

Thanks a lot.

Cheers!

Thanks for answering Idurniat.

  Answering your questions.

  1. The text made with a bitmap font can’t be seen instead appear random numbers and letters in the native font.

  2. I use font-manager

  3. Yes I have a @2x version of my font. In fact the font looks great on Android 5 phones and tablets as well as iPhone and iPad. I have only found this issue on Android 6.

Thanks for your help!

Try debugyou app on real device (with Android 6) by connecting device to computer and use adb logcat Corona:v *:s.
