the fonts library contains many pre-prepared NON-monospaced fonts
activate them on the displays using setFont
when activating non-monospaced fonts, getFontWidth and getFontHeight return the maximum height/width of a character in the font
all fonts are available in variants 16, 32, 72 pixels. Please note that the actual character sizes may vary depending on the font and symbol. they may be a little bigger or a little smaller, but they will never increase the dimensions provided by getFontWidth and getFontHeight
to get other font sizes, use display.setFontScale or display.setFontSize
these are standard fonts from windows. and I can't guarantee that all of them have been rasterized with high quality
to calculate exactly what space the text will occupy on the screen, use display.calcTextBox
--example for display 256x256

local fonts = require("fonts")
local display = getComponent("display")
display.reset()
display.setTextSpacing(6) --in such large fonts, it would be more logical to spread the characters a little more than 1 pixel apart
display.setFontScale(1.8, 1.8) --is 32x32 small? you can make any font bigger!
display.clear()
local posY = 1
local text = "TEST"
display.setFont(fonts.impact_32)
