This question has 2 parts, 1. the clarity of the fonts, and 2. the size of the fonts.
Part 1:
As the name suggests, literally all the fonts on my project are blurry when AA is on, but if I turn off AA, it becomes jagged.
I recently downloaded a 3x6 pixel font and it is the only one that seemed to work, so I wonder if it's because of my resolution (480 x 270) is too small, and that fonts other than pixel fonts aren't meant to be rendered on such a small resolution. Thing is, I would really prefer using a generic font like Ariel or Consolas. Maybe it isn't caused by my resolution, but I can't seem to figure out how to use any other fonts.
Images attached below are 1. the pixel font I use, 2. Arial with AA on and 3. Arial with AA off. See how the pixel font looks normal, but Arial looks weird in both.
Above that, another issue that's noticeable in these images is the size of the letters. The pixel font has a very optimal size, but Arial and all other fonts are much bigger. Which leads me to...
Part 2:
I use the size 12 for all the fonts in images, but only the pixel font is the right size I want, all the other fonts are much bigger in 12, such as Arial, as seen in the images.
I can set my fonts smaller than 12 but it literally just starts to distort and becomes unrecognizable, I think 12 is the smallest you can go.
This becomes especially tricky when I try to localize it for Asian languages like Chinese, where characters are much bigger than Latin-based fonts like English. I quite literally cannot render them any smaller than 12, because when I do it becomes squished and missing pixels and unrecognizable.
Images below include my Chinese font, see how it is bigger than the pixel font, just like Arial.
I literally cannot find a way to make these fonts smaller without making them look unrecognizable. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
