Mangled spritefont on low spec device

[Aranda]

@Ben_P1

the game is cold-started and all the assets are first loaded, I store the filenames of all the spritefonts I use. When Activity.OnPause fires, I set all the spritefont variables to null and then fire the garbage collector.

When the game resumes, while the spritefont variables are null, the list of filenames remains - so then I can reload them in the C

Whilst I’m glad you’re working around the problem, I do worry that this is more of an internal MonoGame issue. Perhaps related to this: Android application switch does not call DeviceReset event - #4 by Aranda

Do you have other non sprite-font textures in the game that DO get reloaded (ie are not black) after switching back to the game?
