Title: [SOLVED] Blurry Font and no Outline
Post by: MagicFred on September 09, 2013, 04:50:31 pm
Hello,

I use BMFont and I followed all tutorials like "Preparing a font (http://www.2dtoolkit.com/docs/2.10/tutorial/preparing_a_font.html)".
But, nothing works well... My font is blurry and without outline... :(

Here are my steps:

05.

06. The result!

Note that the text "0%" is clean. The text Mesh uses DemoFont provided in the 2dtk package.

What did I do wrong?

Thank you! :)

Your "Outline Thickness" in the first pic is 0.

By "the problem" I'm guessing its the blurriness? Are you creating the font at the correct camera settings? Is it the correct size? What happesn if you turn off mipmaps on the font?

Yes, the blurriness...

Where I can set mitmaps please?

Its on the font texture. You'll need to set it to Advanced, and then turn off mipmaps. If you can't work it out, send a zipped up project demonstrating the problem to support at unikronsoftware dot com. This definitely works fine.

Now, it's time to investigate on the letter spacing.
