Why is LC text blurred on a retina display?

[Neil Roger]

Hi Tiemo,

HiDPI support was added in LiveCode 6.6RC2. You will have to upgrade to 
at least this version for text to look crisp although I would highly 
recommend starting to use LiveCode 8 ;)

More information on this can be found here-

Kind Regards,
