Bug Bigger font for mobile decices

[blockypixels]

the built in font is WAY to small for phones

I cant make out the letters on my iphone so DrawText() is only useful for desktops.

The font needs to be twice the current size.

Maybe a SetFontSize command ? could be very useful.

I also noticed that and workaround with Print for debugging and Jungle's font module for real game fonts of 2 sizes - one for >= 1900 width screens and one for smaller ones.

How about using the wonderful ability to scale before you draw text? Works wonders i think

The next update brings real bitmap font drawing with kernel support. To both, mojo and mojo2

Does work upscaling a small font for a retina display , just all fussy and gives me headaches looking at it, the font needs to be hughe to see it on a retina display the current font is about 1.5mm high, unreadable

Do you have one that would work?

Well, you could just make your own custom font (which you should do anyway, because frankly default font for Mojo, both, is awful and usable only for debug stuff)

This way it would look better as you can make font as big as you want. You can use free tools like CBFG, Littera (not sure if it would work with Cerberus) or BMFont to create custom bitmap font for your game from ordinary TTF fonts.

That is what it was intended for anyway.

Don't worry, I know how to create fonts. I just thought I might so bold to ask if he can provide something too. But nevermind, over time this bug will be fixed.
