Here is the image for 6 font size

Hi,

I think the issue is just that Calibri is too large a font to be displayed properly at 6px.

Depending on what your end-use is, I think you either have to enlarge your sprite to fit the text at a decent size, choose a different font β€” Itch has some good fonts legible at very small font sizes, but if you google Pixel art font, there are a lot of places that have free to use ones β€” or you have to write it out yourself as small as you can get.

The anti-aliasing option can also make the text a bit more readable, but usually only looks okay when viewed from a distance, so again it might not be an option for you depending on your use case.

Sorry that I don’t have a proper solution. Hope this helps anyways.
