Visual Studio Code: Simulator Retains Old Bitmap Fonts

For some reason, when re-running a test for a specific device on Visual Studio Code, the simulator retains old bitmap fonts (for that specific device) that were replaced or altered in the file directory. What's causing this behavior and how to change it? Thanks.

There is probably some caching going on. Try changing to a different target, run that, and then switch back

Yes! There is definitely some caching going on! But where is it saving the cache to, the bin folder? Isn't that the most weird behavior? I try switching to a different target with the same resolution size (=same source folder), and sure enough, the compiler picks the new files. But switching back to the previous device does not resolve the issue. At least, not immediately.

hi, you can use the command palette: Monkey C : Clean Project

Thanks for that. I was having the same problem. Everytime I made a change to my bitmap font I ended up having to save it with a unique name or the changes did not show up. Clean Project works perfectly for me.

It seems to have worked! Thanks!
