Retina Text? Not the same on device.

Games
#1

Hello,

First of all what is retina text?
And how can I use it?

Second question is that my app uses text more than images and the text looks great on the corona simulator but when i add it on my IOS device it looks like the text gets blury, it does keep the same resolution as on the simulator. I have provided some code below of what I use for texts.

Any suggestions to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

– Again, it looks fine on simulator then on device it changes.

local text = display.newText(“NameOfText”,0, 0,“FontName”, 15);
text:setTextColor( 0, 255, 0)

What iOS device are you testing on? Is it retina? If so, try retina text.

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). [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 22056 reply_id: 94918[/import]
