A-frame a-text issue

[saurabhburadkar]

Description:

• A-Frame Version: 1.3.0
• Platform / Device: windows/ chrome browser
• Reproducible Code Snippet or URL: https://whip-torpid-sousaphone.glitch.me/test4.html

Text not rendering correctly in Aframe. I tried both a-text and a-entity-text

[dmarcos]

Your example is using A-Frame 1.2.0. Can you reproduce with 1.4.0 that it's the latest version?

[saurabhburadkar]

same behavior after using 1.4.0

[saurabhburadkar]

its A-frame issue, right? Because I haven't seen any error logged in console.

FWIW, text is rendering fine for me on Chrome for MacOS Version 108.0.5359.124 (Official Build) (arm64)

[saurabhburadkar]

yes on mac OS its working fine, but on windows chrome its not working.

[saurabhburadkar]

I have macOS system too, but for windows testing I used browserstack site and its showing same issue. Also I tested this on real system too and same issue

[saurabhburadkar]

If you need my help to debug this issue, I am always available here to help you

[dmarcos]

What about other browsers on Windows besides Chrome?

[saurabhburadkar]

edge browser 108 - not working firefox - 108 - working opera 94 - not working

[saurabhburadkar]

@dmarcos any solution?

[saurabhburadkar]

same issue in 1.0.4 version

[dmarcos]

This has to be something specific to Windows OS: drivers, WebGL shaders implementation... Don't have a Windows machine to investigate. PRs always welcome

[saurabhburadkar]

This is what the console logs show. I don't have a Windows system but for testing, I used the BrowserStack site. They are providing virtual machines for live testing.

I just tried to reproduce the bug using the following link: https://whip-torpid-sousaphone.glitch.me/test4.html -- at the time of testing:

A-Frame Version	Platform	Version	Browser	Version	Result
1.4.0	Windows 10 Pro	Version 22H2 (19045.2604)	Chrome	110.0.5484.100 (64-bit)	Passed
1.4.0	Windows 10 Pro	Version 22H2 (19045.2604)	Edge	110.0.1587.41	Passed
1.4.0	Windows 10 Pro	Version 22H2 (19045.2604)	Chrome	109.0.1	Passed

1.4.0	iOS	16.2	Safari	16	Passed

I'm unable to reproduce the artifacting / text rendering bug shown.

@saurabhburadkar do you have any other reproduction steps or code that might further demonstrate the bug?

[dmarcos]

Probably issue specific to gpu / driver combo.

Actually, I have apparently the same issue on Mac with A-Frame 1.6.0.

MacBook Pro Intel, MacOS 14.6, Chrome 127.0.6533.100
