simulator/app discrepancy

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi

I have a paragraph of text being displayed in my app. using display.newText:

regularCardQuestion = display.newText(displayQuestionCardGroup, questions[questionIndex].question, x\_coord, y\_coord, width,0,      FONT\_NAME, BIG\_BALLOON\_FONT\_SIZE )  

The x and y coordinates of the paragraph, and its width, are all determined by the length of the string containing the text

e.g. … 

y\_coord = 200 -  math.round((string.len(questions[questionIndex].question) / 3 ))  

The simulator positions and wraps the lines slightly differently from how it appears on the device (iPad).

Is this a bug I should report, or could it be a problem in my code?

thanks,

david

You are using FONT_NAME without telling us what font you are using. Are you sure that the font is also installed on the device?
