No bitmapped fonts in u4... What other options to make nice looking text?

Unity Engine

Hi there,

Now that it seems unity 4 has stopped the use of bitmapped fonts, just wondering how are people getting their in-game text to look cool? I used Bitmap text meshes throughout my last game and I imagine a lot of other people must have been, so I’m just wondering what other options there are now to make your text look a little more interesting than solid colours?

Thanks
Pete

Unity 4 hasn’t dropped bitmap fonts. It changed the way font atlases are generated, and while it’s unfortunately a jumble and rather more annoying to work with than before (a lot more annoying actually), it’s still an option.

Ahh, i see! I’m slowly getting my head around it :slight_smile:
Bummer though cause my bitmap text had a highlight that I just ran through the rows of letters, It’s going to be a bit harder like this!
Oh well at least it’s possible.

Thanks Eric5h5.
