Using anti-aliased fonts

Ok, they're working now. Turns out the simulator I was running wasn't v3.9.  :-[

Carson Dyle:

--- Quote from: [St. ---I have an anti-aliased font package that I use for my RaaA themes in which the fonts range from 12px to 50px, in 2px increments (12, 14, 16, ... etc.), and has both bold and regular versions of each size. The font used for this package is "DroidSans(-Bold).ttf" from Google.

[St.], I got a chance to play with your fonts today. They look great. The smaller ones have a bit too much space between the letters, but the larger ones look perfect. I've downloaded the ttf files for the originals and will try out using convttf.

How much experimenting did you do to get proper line and letter spacing, or are they all the same?

[Saint]:
It took a *lot* of pissing around to get the fonts to look similar and have consistent ascent, descent, and spacing (and it's still not 100%).

Convttf is a nice tool, but in certain circumstances it will give an undesired output that needs to be tweaked manually.

My suggestion is to use the -vvv (extremely verbose) flag whilst converting so you don't have to load the fonts to the device and attempt to review them there after each change.
