How do I use Bitmap Fonts?

UI
1

Hello all!

I am trying to make letters/numbers like this http://simpson3d.com/fonttest/Points.png

I need to be able to take a font, make it into a bitmap image, bring it into Photoshop, make it look great, then bring it back into Unity.

I used this link http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=SaveFontTexture and it makes the image but everytime I used the sheet, my letter just came out like blobs/squares.

This needs to work using the OnGUI.

Any thoughts?

If there is a different solution than using the OnGUI, I’m all for it.

Thanks in advance!

I’m afraid that’s impossible; OnGUI can only use TTF fonts. The SaveFontTexture page has docs on how to use bitmap fonts with GUText objects, also works with 3DText.

Thanks, I was about to edit my post. Using GUIText will be fine but I still have the same problem.
