Text/font on iPhone

by Eyal Erez · in iTorque 2D · 11/02/2008 (10:22 pm) · 2 replies

I've noticed that some of the fonts that are working on the Mac do not show up on the iPhone. as soon as I change that back to Ariel it works.
Is there any way to figure out which fonts the iPhone supports?
This problem applies to both Gui text and t2dTextObject.

Make sure you copy the .uft font files over. I'm not sure where they go on a Mac, but in windows vista they end up in users/username/appdata/roaming/yourpublisher/yourgame/common/data/fonts (Something like that, typing this from memory). You need to copy them to your games common/data/fonts folder before you deploy the game to iPhone.

Thanks Conor, That worked!
I couldn't find .uft on the Mac so I went back to the pc and launched the game from there. once I had to .uft's I copy them back to the Mac and voila. iPhone is good to go.
Cheers!
