Strange text artifacts in menu.

[Joseph Marlin]

Please see the attached file for an example of my problem. Note that it is not a problem when using a font like Arial. I'm using this font in the image: http://www.dafont.com/font-comment.php?file=planet_space

I guess what I'm asking is, is this an issue with Cocos or with the font, and either way, what might I do to resolve the issue.

Thanks!

Cocos gets font functionality from pyglet, and I don't remember an artifact issue there.

It is not uncommon that a font downloaded from the internet don't renders properly in one or another backend, especially with old fonts (in your case a 1998 font)

Sometimes loading the font with a font editor you can spot problematic glyphs and correct them, but usually is easier to replace with another font.

PD: for files sized above 20KB aprox, it is better if you upload somewhere (paste bins, bitbucket, ... ) and post the link, instead of attaching the file.

Problem is with certain fonts and anti aliasing, experiment with
another size, it will work.
I had the same issues.

I hadn't even noticed that that font was so old! Thanks! I will try different sizes as Enerccio suggested or simply get a new font altogether.
