Like for example on Instruction or Credit page, I would like to write an almost essay length (just saying) text to display that I can have it scroll by touch drag.

    It would be best to create a png image file from the text. It's possible to do with Display Text and/or tables but formatting that much text is a major pain.

    Actually, the Display Text rendering can produce low quality results on certain devices so it's better to use PNGs. Just follow the general advice about 2x the resolution, 72 dpi, even pixel sizes, etc.

    I figured as much, I guess PNG it is then... just worried that the resolution of the fonts wouldn't be as good when scaled to other dimensions in different screen sizes..

    Thanks again!
