Main body text blurred

Main body text blurred

Foggalong opened this issue 10 years ago · 4 comments

Is it just me, or is the text that makes up the main body of the program really blurry? I've not used Kivy before so just close this if it's normal behaviour, but it seemed a little odd that the rest of the text was okay when this wasn't.

It's an issue with Kivy. We've talked a lot dami0 and I about it. I tried using different font but they were even more blurry.
The default font is the one of Android. You'll notice that if you run Kivy on an Android device it'll use the system font which isn't blurry.

If you wanna have a test-run try changing the font_name property (the font should be in the same dir). Try changing the font_size also.

I'll have a play around :)

I'm not sure if a source code change is needed, as far as I know dropping the font folder into the Kivy using program directory is enough, but do change it if doesn't work. It could be that it is using a bitmap font or something similar.

A quick grep is showing only font_size and not font_name. That might be the problem.
