I am loading fonts and I can't seem to scale them

net.rim.device.api.ui.Font font10 = fontFamily.getFont(FontFamily.TRUE_TYPE_FONT,10,Ui .UNITS_pm);
net.rim.device.api.ui.Font font12 = fontFamily.getFont(FontFamily.TRUE_TYPE_FONT,12,Ui .UNITS_pm);
net.rim.device.api.ui.Font font14 = fontFamily.getFont(FontFamily.TRUE_TYPE_FONT,14,Ui .UNITS_pm);

If I use UNITS_px they are really small.

I then loop through loading them changing the font height up to 40

I do this on the emulator and it works.
I do this on the device and it crashes after 14
The font on the blackberry is 14 size only when I look at it in the actual screen setup.

Why would it work on the emulator and not on the device
Obviously the font size isnt' on he device but how come the UNITS_px when I specify 14 looks like half a mm tall

Really really small.
I have to actualy load 40 size in order to have it about 1/8inch tall

Thanks very much

Wrong forum sorry everyone

You need to request the font in points, rather than pixels.

Something like this:

m_listFont = m_defaultFont.derive(Font.BOLD,8,Ui.UNITS_pt)

These fonts will be scaled properly for the device.

Yes, Thanks very much for the reply. Problem solved.
I did what you said and then also change it from
FontFamily.TRUE_TYPE_FONT
to
FontFamily.CBTF_FONT
Both things solved the problem

I don't know what CBTF_FONT fonts are. I suppose it would be good to find out.
I couldn't seem to find much docs about them but I'm sure I looked in the wrong place.
Thanks again
Problem solved
