Large text appears blurry
« on: May 22, 2012, 07:21:19 pm »
I use the sf::String class to show text on the screen, and it looks okay at small sizes, but if I make the text 96pt, the it appears really blurry. I did SetSmooth(false) on the sf::Font object, but the it appears blurry and pixel-y! Is there any way  to have large, clean-looking text in SFML 1.6?

Hmm, what if you try setSmooth(true) ?

That's the default I think, and it still appears blurry.

The font must be loaded with the same size that you'll use in the string. Otherwise the characters are stretched.
