Title: Is there any way to scale UILabels without them becoming unreadable?
Post by: Aurigan on November 04, 2016, 06:16:46 PM

Hi, I have a map that the player can zoom out on. That map has a ton of labels on it ... when zooming out the UILabels end up looking all aliased, is there any way to stop this happening? Thanks!

In short, no.

Long explanation is: think about it. When you zoom out, the label's pixels become larger than the pixels on the screen, so you get overlap where a single pixel on the screen corresponds to multiple pixels on your labels. This leads to it being less readable. This is nothing to do with NGUI -- it's just how graphics hardware / monitors work.
