Sim smudges bitmaps on high resolution screens?

I am finding in the simulator that bitmaps are "smudged" on high-resolution screens.

Here's what appears on a 260x260 (Fenix6Pro) screen:

The lettering is crisp and clear. however, on a 416x416 (venu2) the screen shows as:

with the letters increasingly smudged towards the bottom of the screen.

Here's the source 416x416 image:

(This compass card is one of the 64 PNG's that I generate with a php script, with a separate card oriented for each of the 64 points of the compass.)

I don't have a physical device to test on, so I wonder if this is a known issue with the sim on hi-res devices?

Looks like a bug in your code: are you "filling" the middle with white? Change it to some other color to see the problem (which is probably wrong coordinates or radius)

As mentioned, the display is generated by a resource bitmap from the png image shown, so coordinates or radius don't really come into play.

I have improved the sim's display by generating the png with a 4-color palette as it's only a B&W image and I'm happy using a 64-color display even on the AMOLED screens. (The blue line and cyan segment are drawn at runtime).

It's still not correct as the circled text is still a bit "smudged"

And I still don't know if the problem is with the simulator or if the devices will display crisply.
