Should text objects be used?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Text objects cause a lot of problems. Stuff changes depending on the device and operating system.

Would it be better to not even bother with text objects?

Instead make a display object for every letter you want to display and write text that way?

Then it would look the same on every device.

That is a technique called bitmap fonts. Search on that term and see what you can find. Many games use bitmap fonts exclusively.
