T3D 1.1 Final - Font not working - LOGGED (THREED-2121)

by Lewis Bibby · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/01/2011 (8:35 pm) · 6 replies

Build:1.1 Final

Platform: Windows 7 64 bit

Target: GUI Editor

Issues: I'm trying to add a font to my game. I've tried both letting the GUI editor write the profile for me and writing my own profile. The font gets converted into a .uft file but if I make a simple text control and try adding something nothing appears. Swapping profile to one that uses a different font makes the text appear. The font in question is this, http://www.dafont.com/mousou-record-g.font

I've also noticed that under some circumstances (eg: certain sizes of a custom italic font) some fonts don't seem to appear/render.

Hi Lewis,

I could not reproduce this issue. Here is my GuiControlProfile:

singleton GuiControlProfile(TestTextProfile : GuiTextProfile)
{
   fontType = "Mousou Record__G";
   fontSize = "16";
   fontColor = "255 255 255";
};

A GuiTextCtrl control using this profile displays just fine.

Are you sure you had the name right when you created your profile? I had to look in MSWord to see what the font was really called.

Chris, just emailed you a couple of files I've had issues with, so you can test them tomorrow.

Still refuses to work for me too. Displays fine in the GUI Editor, But when the game is launched it reverts itself back to 'Arial'
