Title: Font bounds
Post by: widow on April 14, 2015, 07:47:49 pm

Hi, i'm having trouble with the mesh bounds in tk2dtextmeshes.
As you can see in the image below when ever I have a blank space the height of the mesh is affected as the mesh for the empty space is rendered at a different height.

Different fonts have different results, fonts with characters of similar height have better results. All fonts have been exported with the same settings on BMFont.

Is there any way to mitigate this on the uneven fonts?

Thanks!

That is the base of the font, i.e. including all your hanging characters like g y, etc. The pivot of the font should never change though. Don't use the mesh bounds for height if you don't want it to change - you can use the fonts lineHeight to define the constant "lineHeight" thats in the font data.
