Hi all,

I have a little problem with quality of text on my ios device (old ipod touch 2g)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25801721/nme_ios_fontproblem.PNG...

I've used same font on android galaxy ace and everything looked ok.

I don't know if it's caused by device itself or some bug in haxe/nme.

Thanks for help.

Re: Problem with font on IOS

I believe we use "native fonts" on iOS, where we use Freetype in order to render fonts for other platforms.

Perhaps there is a way we can improve how the iOS-specific code is functioning. It looks the hinting on the font is off

I've just logged it on JIRA, here:

We'll try and get this taken care of. Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks for fast respond.

I don't know if it helps somehow but I used Lato Font, Light style.

PS. Thanks for great work with haxe nme! I'm impressed with platform coverage and performance!
