Title: Fonts && Outlines
Post by: beermoney on April 14, 2015, 06:06:17 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to have the font outline effect on the inside of the font? (say if I use a negative value for the thickness of the outline I might expect it to appear inside the characters?). The reason I might want to do this to keep the fonts cleaner, for example if I have colon character an outline on the outside causes the dots in he colon to merge thereby making the character more difficult to read.

Also what would be really cool is if we could have the drop shadow and the outline effects at the same time? (You can achieve this by duplicating the UILabel but that would really suck having to double up gameobject everywhere)

Thanks

No, this isn't possible. The outline is done by first drawing the text using the outline's color several times, then drawing the same text on top using the foreground color.
