font quality on low screen resolutions

[John Smith]

hi i am using dx functions as almost every scripter and i ran into a problem

due to scale(i guess) on lower resolutions quality of font is being lost

i'm scaling font like this

sw,sh = guiGetScreenSize() 
local scaleX,scaleY = 1/1920*sw, 1/1080*sh 
dxDrawText(...,scaleX,scaleY,...) 

and basically on my resolution (1920x1080) font is basically in HD, while on lower resolutions such as 1366x768 quality is completely ruined.

how can i fix this problem?

Maybe if you increase the font size could found (it helped me);

local sw,sh = guiGetScreenSize() 
scaleX,scaleY = 1/1920*sw, 1/1080*sh 
size = 1.50*scaleY

that will just increase font size, and for me it would bug out with the thing im working with(because font size would be too big) ...

That's an issue with the way you are scaling in, what you want is a constant font size but also a solution to the problem with different screen resolutions. Try some kind of docking mechanism like making the dx text 800 pixels wide and dock it at center bottom, that would work on all resolutions.

Try creating a custom font of several sizes and switch between the fonts depending on the size.

You can math.ceil or math.floor (or math.round if you make it) your font scale so it doesn't look that bad.
