Thanks Alex.
Not much success with this trick however, do you use scaleTo:,
scaleBy:.. ? and on the BlTextElement or on the BrRopedText ?
It also seems that some sizes work better, like 45, 55, and 70 are ok
aswell as everything under 40. I'll try to avoid the problematic sizes
for the moment.
Unfortunately i am on linux and have trouble with brick and Moz2D,
specifically on raspberry pi - but otherwise just bloc works fine so
i'll stick with it for now :)
Steven.
