Images are pretty useless for that if you want seamless zooming.
Regular (ttf/odf) fonts are currently just loaded textures you draw and have the same issues regarding zooming whether the characters are emojis or not (unless you create another Font object with a different size)
Signed distance fields would be one solution that'd support smooth zoming if that's what you mean.

Yes i am aware, I am currently creating tons of fonts, when i show multiple fonts and zoom in/out i either get massive ram usage when i keep them or massive cpu usage from garbage collecting them. Something i found no solution for yet.
But the primary goal is to keep letters sharp not to save on resources.
What are signed distance fields and how would that solve the issue?

Not sure if it completely solves the issue, but it seems like a decent compromise... also, i do admit the topic has gotten off the thread's original purpose

????????????????????????????????????????????
Yosh
Am I the only one seeing "The Batman(2022)" trailer everywhere by grump's post* (couldn't check out other recent posts too)?
Or am I just crazy
Oh, and a little unrelated, but does font loading take a while? It's just that libgdx uses bitmaps but has the option to load fonts from a ttf file at runtime with the warning that the program would take considerably longer to start up. Is this just a Freetype font loader thing on their side or...?
*Just in case no one got this I was talking about question marks and how the trailer points to The Riddler being the villain with a lot of question marks and ...
The risk I took was calculated,
but man, am I bad at math.

Like, okay, i can get why you frustrated
But does that make you that angry so you even start call others assholes and so on?
Slime is a good dude and I commend his efforts to create good things. I have the utmost respect for the project he stands for. You, on the other hand, are not even qualified to pass judgment.
