Scale a Bitmapfont in LibGDX

Question

How can I scale a Bitmapfont object in LibGDX? It seems the method setScale is no longer available.

Answer 1

As Fish mentioned, it is recommended to use freetype generator as following:

FreeTypeFontGenerator generator = new FreeTypeFontGenerator(Gdx.files.internal("fonts/timesBold.ttf"));
FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter parameter = new FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter();

Then change the font size in parameter and initialize BitmapFont:

fontParameter.size = 18;
BitmapFont font = fontGenerator.generateFont(fontParameter);

It is also needed to include libgdx-freetype.so in armeabi folder of your project.
