On the smallest sized window I've been looking at, one pixel does take up a 2x2. The only value less than 1 that will produce 'acceptable' results is 0.5 due to the fact that Minecraft uses a 2x2 pixel square 'per pixel' of detail.Īhhh, that was about what I figured the problem was. a given pixels is either fully transparent or fully opaque) and not look weird. There is simply no way to smoothly scale something that is 5 pixels wide down to 4 pixels wide and still have aliased results (i.e. That's what happens when there is no interpolation. Your scale isn't a whole number, so yes, you're going to lose pixels. In any case, I'm hoping someone here may have a solution. Unless I'm totally wrong about that guess, which is also totally possible. I still want it to be based off the GUI scale so that people can change the sizing as they wish, but I need to do my own calculation to get it at 0.8 the normal size instead of 1.0. in theory, shouldn't it be possible to start with it at a 1pixel scale and then scale it up? I'm just not sure how to override Minecraft's default GUI sizing for this. But the font is a pixel one to begin with, so. I'm guessing the problem is occurring because I'm scaling down and therefore losing pixels. get ( i )), ( int ) scaleUp ( xOffset ), ( int ) scaleUp ( yPos ), ( int ) scaleUp ( textWidth ), this. glScalef ( fontScale, fontScale, fontScale ) this. The code I'm using to scale the text is called through the render method of my GUI (extends Screen, since it has no inventory): The scaling is very uneven and reduces legibility- which is especially a big issue at such a small size. On my fairly large monitor with the window full size, the text looks fine. I did some research and figured out that you have to change the GL scale to be able to change the font size. I'm working on the lore book for my mod, but I felt like I couldn't get enough info on its pages with Minecraft's default font size.
