I finally solved this issue. You are right. TextBatch should be better choice. Also I did some tests after you mentioned GlyphData, and I found out advance of single glyph(GlyphData:getAdvance()) isn't always same as width of single glyph(font:getWidth("X")); sometimes they are same but so...

By the way, the code is : -- big = big font size -- small = small(main) font size function alt_print(s, x, y) love.graphics.setFont(font) for i=1, #s do -- Ascii only example(1glyph=1byte) x = math.round(x) love.graphics.print(s:sub(i, i), x, y) if i < #s then x = x + bigFont:getWidth(s(i))*small/bi...

Why not use a bitmap font? Thanks for the advice, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be better approach for the purpose. To get texts rendered in LOVE similar to those of other universal programs (for readability and aesthetic), the requirements would be : [1] Each glyph should be rendered precisely, which...

I tried out many things to fix this problem for some time. So I am sharing what I've found out so far. In LOVE, its determining X-coordinate for each next character seems not precise(it tends to be biased toward lefter position than it should). So, just adjusting kerning is not enough(and is not as ...

Oh, sorry for not providing any examples & code. Here is an example with Segoe UI TTF file(system font. file could be found in C:\Windows\Fonts), but similar difference could be found in other font files including OTF ones. 1. A paragraph from love2d github page(I added "/" for better ...

I think error is because of using "=" instead of "==", in "if tile = 11 then"?

It's nothing really problematic, but I've been wondering why same font(+ same size & same text) looks different on Love, than on web browser, pdf viewer, etc. The text rendered in love seems to have same heights but narrower width. After several testing, I noticed it's not only letter spacing &a...

love 12 has much better glyph/text positioning in love.graphics.print and friends than previous versions for a lot of fonts, since it uses Harfbuzz for text shaping. But that new text shaping doesn't really match with the concept of computing glyphs independently and adding together offsets and ker...

After still getting same result(kerning=0) with your suggested font file, I found out that it only happens in 12.0 version(in-development version). And yes, it works well in 11.4 released version.
Binary search would be definitely better option. Thanks for the help!

Hi. I'm trying to make editable text box in LOVE. In order to place cursor and select texts with mouse, calculating which character x position of mouse cursor lays on is necessary. However, font:getKerning() function doesn't seem to be working. It always returns zero, even when font:getWidth() of tw...
