GML Pixelated Text

[GameDetective]

I am having a problem with the text coming out weird and pixelated. I dont know what to do to fix it. I have read some stuff on scaling but I dont know how to do that. If you dont know what I am talking about here is a picture

It looks wrong to me

Yeah in game maker, text characters are treated as sprites. So when you resize the text, it will lose quality and pixelate the way a sprite would.

If you want it to look just like the actual font, you should make another font asset with a different font size.

Also when you scale the font bigger it becomes pixelated.
when you scale down, the quality is still good but there's a chance that some parts of a letter may disappear if you scale down too much.

Ok what do you mean by make another font asset?

He probably meant to use separate font set for your resolution.

Yeah create a new font in the resources panel, and just set it to a different size
