Title: Custom font doesn't work.
Post by: kliqingk on June 07, 2013, 09:32:17 am

1. I made a  text font and texture from BMFont program. There are 1521 characters including '0'-'9'.
2. I created a Font object. Assign the text font and texture to the Font object.
3. Clicked "Commit" button.
4. I created a TextMesh using the Font object.
5. Set the text to "100".

Just three rectangles(six triangles) were shown.

Then I changed Bm Font and Texture with demo font and texture in tk2d_demo. "100" was shown.
But I used my custom font and texture in NGUI. It worked.

What format did you save out the font as?
Did you follow the settings here?

Yes, I followed the settings.

I saved out the font as .tga and font data as  txt.

Send the font to support at unikronsoftware dot com. I'll take a look to see why it isn't working.

The .tga file is too large to upload it. So I compressed them.

That font isn't set up following those instructions I linked earlier.
http://unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/doc/2.00/tutorial/preparing_a_font.html
You have "Pack chars in multiple channels ticked". If you untick it and follow the instructions above, this font will work fine.

The good news is you helped uncover a bug in the experimental packed font system.

If you want for 2.0 hotfix it will be fixed in that version, or else post in the private support forum and I'll post the file in there.
