my font (created in bitfontmaker2) is pixilated, but love2d blurrs it. how to stop it???
(`setDefaultFilter("nearest", "nearest")` or `t.window.highfpi = false` are useless)
Code: Select all
th = 1
function love.load()
monospaced = love.graphics.newFont("Monospaced.ttf", 11)
love.graphics.setFont(monospaced)
love.graphics.setDefaultFilter("nearest", "nearest")
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("...###...#...#.#...###\n...#.#...#...#.#...#.#\n...##....#...#.#...##.\n...#.#...#...#.#...#.#\n...###...#...###...#.#\n", 0, 0, 0, th, th)
end
function love.wheelmoved(x, y)
th = th + y * 0.1
end
EDIT: I found a solution -
Code: Select all
monospaced = love.graphics.newFont("Monospaced.ttf", 11, "mono", 11)

Only draw to integer pixel positions, i.e. round your x,y coords.
You mean your scaling... You need to create your font in different sizes and not use scaling for that.

Thanks but...
I think you should test before posting with task manager open. It eats up a HUGE amount of memory.
but changing the initial font size is definitely one of the possible solutions, if you initially set a large resolution and then change the size. but the question is still open.

Not sure what you mean, also docs clearly state: "This function can be slow if it is called repeatedly, such as from love.update or love.draw. If you need to use a specific resource often, create it once and store it somewhere it can be reused!"

https://love2d.org/wiki/Font:setFilter
Code: Select all
monospaced = love.graphics.newFont("Monospaced.ttf", 11)
monospaced:setFilter( 'nearest', 'nearest' )
Code: Select all
function love.draw()
love.graphics.scale (5)
love.graphics.print("...###...#...#.#...###\n...#.#...#...#.#...#.#\n...##....#...#.#...##.\n...#.#...#...#.#...#.#\n...###...#...###...#.#\n")
end

A bit more explanation, setDefaultFilter should have been called *before* you create a font, and it would have worked as well... if that was the only issue.
