Java-LibGDX gdx-freetype无法从单个TTF加载两种字体大小

Question

I am trying to load two different sizes of the same font using the gdx-freetype extension of LibGDX: size 24 and 72. For whatever reason, it doesn't load the 24 right because it looks like garbage . This is very strange because it looks correct when I am not also loading the 72.

In my code I have tried loading both fonts using the same FreeTypeFontGenerator, and with two different generators. They both yield the same result as far as I can tell. Also, it doesn't seem to matter what order I load the two fonts: the 24 is always the one that looks bad. Here is my code for loading fonts:

FreeTypeFontGenerator generator = new FreeTypeFontGenerator(Gdx.files.internal("fontFile.ttf"));
FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter param = new FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter();
param.size = 72;
font = generator.generateFont(param);
generator.dispose();

FreeTypeFontGenerator generator2 = new FreeTypeFontGenerator(Gdx.files.internal("fontFile.ttf"));
FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter param2 = new FreeTypeFontGenerator.FreeTypeFontParameter();
param2.size = 24;
smallFont = generator2.generateFont(param2);
generator2.dispose();

Am I doing something wrong or is there an error in the gdx-freetype extension? Thanks for your help.

Alright, I fixed my own problem, and it had nothing to do with the way I was loading fonts, but the way I was them. I was creating a GlyphLayout like so:

textLayout = new GlyphLayout(smallFont, "Sample Text");

and then rendered it like this:

font.draw(spriteBatch, textLayout, width, height);

The problem was that I was drawing the text with a different font than the one I used to generate the layout. If anyone reading this had a similar problem with gdx-freetype, make sure you're rendering the fonts right.
