UILabel artifact on high resolution screen

[zaborius]

Hello there! Our team was faced with the problem of rendering UILabel on devices with high resolution, such as IPad Retina. Issue occurs when game loading resources synchronously (1-5 seconds). In our case we use Resources.Load(). We are using dynamic font with NGUI 3.0.9f6.

Regular label:

Label during our loading process with screen fade effect (simple black semi transparent UITexture on top):

Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks!

Dynamic font is unstable. Sometimes it reloads the font for no reason, giving you these weird signs. Only solution is to use Bitmap Font.

That, and NGUI 3.0.9 became obsolete years ago...

Thank you, we will try Bitmap font in the problem area.
"That, and NGUI 3.0.9 became obsolete years ago..." - We have come a long way with the old version in current project. It's just small part of ui that has issue.

You can use that to generate your font:

(Use .txt on the top of the screen instead of XML)
