Love2D - Font Messed Up!

Post by Triplenox »

Hey Guys, I think there is already a post out there for this, but I have no idea what to search for, my problem is that my font that i'm using (Harabra) is quite high quality on letters, then fuzzy/blurry on the other letters, I have no idea what to call this post, nor what this problem is called, here's a picture ;3 Any help is appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Hmm.. Maybe it would be helpful if you gave us a link so we can test the font out.
I don't know about any problem with the font function, try changing the font size and watch the result ( i.e change size 18 to 22 )

Most modern fonts are hinted for RGB subpixel rendering. LOVE however, uses simple grayscale antialiasing. Read more about different rendering strategies here.

I don't see anything obviously wrong on that picture. What letters do you consider "blurry"?
When I write def I mean function.

A) What OS are you on?

B) Please upload the .love so we can test it and take screenshots of what it looks like for us.

It's sorta a game, so i'm not trusting anyone with the code D: I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit on an Intel Pentium P6100 processor. (I think, lol!)

You can then post a minimal example that reproduces your font problem, without exposing your game code.

Here is the code I have for the fonts:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	--fonts!
	small = love.graphics.newFont("fonts/gf.ttf",24)
	medium = love.graphics.newFont("fonts/gf.ttf",36)
	large = love.graphics.newFont("fonts/gf.ttf",48)
	xlarge = love.graphics.newFont("fonts/gf.ttf",62)
	xxlarge = love.graphics.newFont("fonts/gf.ttf",72) end
And here is the code I have for printing the fonts:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setFont(small)
	love.graphics.print("Credits:\nKeaton (Art)\nMatt Chambers (Code)\nJames McCarthy (Music)",10,355)
end
This isn't the full code for my love.load and love.draw, but it's everything to do with text, hope this helps, some how :p

Kind Regards,

Well, they aren't exactly blurry, but they're out of place, and not in-line :p
