Bitmap Font in uGUI Input Text Field

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys, im running in a mayor problem here.

I have bought Bitmap Font Pro to use bitmap fonts inside unity and It works like a charm, but…

When it comes to WRITING with Bitmap Fonts, how can I do it? I mean, uGUI Input Text Field works with the native UIText from uGUI, I have no idea how can I write in the placeholder and when the user uses the keyboard to write something also, use the bitmap font.

Do you guys know some workaround for this? Basically put, I need to make an Input Text Field which displays the text based on a bitmap font and not a truetype one.

Thanks in advance, I really need this!

There is a bug in the current release that doesn’t play nicely with bitmap fonts. I have a fix for this that hopefully will get into the next patch release. For now are you able to use a ttf or the default?

Ok Phil, no problem, I will use ttf until then. Thanks.
