Title: Text Formatting (bold and italic)
Post by: Riggerman on March 19, 2013, 11:39:58 am

Hi, is there a way to use text formatting with the tk2dTextMesh?
Mainly Bold and Italic?

Thanks!

No, that isn't possible with bitmap fonts.

Thanks. Any ideas? Other than duplicating the font or creating another bigger font map?

No, there isn't any other option which will produce high quality output.
You could hack an "italic" option by skewing the mesh, but I don't believe the quality will be good enough.
