UILabel Font consistency issue
« on: September 30, 2014, 03:47:41 AM »
Hello I am having a problem with some fonts hopefully you can help.

Essentially I have a row of buttons (see image). I can't get their labels to have the same font size and still be crisp.

If I bring the font size down low on all of them (to like 15-20, so it doesn't shrink) I can get all the fonts to be the same height, but it's super blurry.

If I bring the font size up to 100 and shrink content, the fonts are more crisp (though not entirely) but the result is that the labels get shrunk to different sizes depending on the text content within them. (as in image)

How can I get a consistent font size and clarity? I've tried the pixel perfect option in the UIRoot but it doesn't seem to do anything. Help is greatly appreciated thanks

You need to use native size. If the font was created with size 32, then your labels should also be using size 32 font size. It's the only way to get crisp text.

If you have multiple label font sizes, then you need to create multiple fonts.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried using the stock ARIMO20 at font size 20

It looks fine in the editor, but deploying to iPad it's super blurry. I tried with both FixedSize and PixelPerfect UIRoot settings.

I've attached a two screenshots, one within the editor and one from the iPad mini, any ideas? Thanks

Check your quality settings. You have it set to Fastest. Fastest = shitty quality.
