Image Font related Import/exportCachedFont() problem

Hi All,

I was trying to use bitmap fonts for my game. For this I used code suggested shown on this forum. I want to use bipmap font in to guiTextCtrl or guiListBoxCtrl or even in t2dTextObject . I used importCachedFont() and exportCachedFont(). As result, in guiTextCtrl output is some garbage text.

My code is something like this......................


function populateFonts( %font, %sizes)
{
for (%i = 0; %i < getWordCount(%sizes); %i++) populateFontCacheRange(%font, getWord(%sizes, %i),
32, 126);
writeFontCache();
}


function fontbitmapIO( %font, %sizes, %import){
if ( %font $= "") return;
%pngdir = "pngs/";
%fontdir = "C:/myGameDirectory/common/data/fonts/";

for (%i = 0; %i < getWordCount(%sizes); %i++){
%size = getWord(%sizes,%i);

%weight = 2; // Edit this if you need more space between fonts

%fileName = %fontdir @ %pngdir @ %font SPC %size @ ".png";

if (%import)
importCachedFont(%font, %size, %fileName, %weight, 0);
else
exportCachedFont(%font, %size, %fileName, %weight, 0);
}
writeFontCache();
}


function fontboy_selected(%font, %size)
{

if (%size $= "") return;

$fontboy_font = %font;
$fontboy_sizes = %size;

populateFonts( $fontboy_font, $fontboy_sizes );
fontbitmapIO( $fontboy_font, $fontboy_sizes , false );
}


Now my step was....

1). I called fontboy_selected("Arial", 24);
2). I got Arial 24.png file into my directory/pngs folder
3). I kept my game running.
4). I edited .png file into photoshop and saved in same place
5). I called fontbitmapIO("Arial", 24, 1) to import png file into font.
6). I set guiTextCtrl.text = "Testing Text";


my Observations.....................

1). guiTextCtrl displays something garbage like (;'"v'!) insted of "Testing Text";
2). In photoshop, I changed the png color from white to red , but here in guiTextCtrl displays black png font.






what could be the problem?




a). Is there any specific format to save png file in photoshop after making modification (I saved into RGB
format)
b). Can we use this image font into guiTextCtrl or other gui control to display text. If "yes" then how we have
to define gui profile to support this.

c). Can we use this image font into t2dTextObject also. If "Yes" then how we will define that.


If any idea, please help me...





thnaks a lot.
