scaleMode for Text objects in V8?

[Bugsbycarlin]

Hi all,

In earlier versions, I made the text for custom fonts crisp by doing:

 

let new_text = new PIXI.Text({text:text, style:text_style});
// no longer valid in Pixi 8
new_text.texture.baseTexture.scaleMode = PIXI.SCALE_MODES.NEAREST;

 

In V8, texture and baseTexture are undefined for Text objects, leading to the error

"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'baseTexture')"

 

 

 

What's the way to force the scaleMode on Text in V8, or an alternative to guarantee crisp text?

 

Thanks in advance!
