That it is. It will be much faster in 0.8.0.

How much faster? I just noticed the same, and wondered if people used framebuffers for images with lots of strings? Anyway, can I assume that for 0.8.0 print() will be the fastest way to put (dynamic) strings?anjo wrote:That it is. It will be much faster in 0.8.0.
BTW, any ETA of 0.8.0 release?

Usually bitmap fonts in OpenGL very fast due to using VBO and font textures generated by any font generators like this:

It would be nice to use in LOVE this method.
