Title: TK2D Fonts and Order In Layer
Post by: connor_obrien on November 26, 2015, 07:10:57 pm

Hello everyone,

I created a TK2D Font for Simplified Chinese that is requiring workarounds I want to avoid.

The pleasant case involves the fonts I already have. Using them I don't have to touch anything.

The unpleasant case involves a font I created using data from the Dengxian font. The Order in Layer parameter results in text rendering under buttons.

A workaround I used was changing the Order in Layer to 1.

This isn't a good idea for a few reasons:

• I want to touch as little code as possible
• It isn't easy switching to different layer orders for different fonts
• This results in the Dengxian font being rendered above things it should not be rendered above.

Is there a way to create a font that will display with an Order in Layer of 0?

Hi there,

I don't see why it won't work with order in layer = 0. Please post a repro case in the private support forum and I'll take a look.
