Since there are no variable text size fonts in allegro, I am trying to implement my own. I am rendering all text to a bitmap then rendering that bitmap to the screen. The only problem is that the default interpolation allegro uses to scale images makes the text look bad I was wondering if there are any flags to get past this problem or how I could render text at variable sizes without it looking bad.

As you can see where it says "Scaled down text" it looks bad.

I had an idea of create a list of the same font at multiple sizes and scaling them by interpolating between them to make it look less bad, but maybe there is an easier option.

You can set the new bitmap flags to use linear min filtering.

ALLEGRO_MIN_LINEAR

You can also use mip maps to interpolate for free. ALLEGRO_MIPMAP
