slanted/italic font is partially cut-off from display.newText

I’m using a slanted/italic font called “marketing script” in 56 point (fontSize) and onscreen, part of the first letter is visually truncated–it seems as if display.newText is not calculating the width or centerX correctly.  

Have others seen this or does anyone have a fix for it??

Thanks

I’ve also seen this when using very large font sizes - on the device the text gets cut off at the top :-/

Rob has recently released a tutorial on various ways to use display.newText

I’m guessing that using the multi-line syntax with a forced width should solve this??

Testing now…yep, that seems to solve this…
