Description

I am developing a game in Piston and need to display text in order to show the score. I followed the instructions given here https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston-examples/blob/master/src/hello_world.rs and was able to render the text successfully, but it looks blurry. I have tried the solution provided here https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston_window/issues/179, but it didn't work for me.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blurry text using the example in piston-examples/src/hello_world.rs and compare the attempted solution from piston_window issue 179. Check the rendering and text configuration involved in that example, then establish a reproducible case where the displayed score text is sharp rather than blurry.
