For some reason I can’t find it but was there ever an api released for retina text?

Its the same as display.newText()

display.newRetinaText(string, x, y, [width], [height], font, fontSize)

Thanks. I’m still a bit lost, whenever i use it it still looks blurry. (I havent touched corona/programed in a month or so)

Thanks.

Are you using an iPad or the iPad simulator? It only does Retina on the iPhone 4(s) and the simulator in iPhone4 mode.

Your right, that did change, now the simulator doesn’t show retina graphics at all! How annoying.

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).
