Title: UILabel: Shrink content with a font with no spaces
Post by: Sobraj on June 01, 2015, 08:39:43 AM

Hi,

I have a UILabel with a custom font with only 2 "characters" (2 type of stars) that are mapped to a and b. I have no spaces in my font.
I use the UILabel Shrink Content so that it always fits a certain width. The shrinking works, but it does not use multiple lines, it shrinks so it fits on one line.
Is there a way to make it split? I tried to just add spaces between the a's and b's but that does not work.

Font:
info face="StarFont" size=22 bold=0 italic=0 charset="" unicode=0 stretchH=100 smooth=1 aa=1 padding=0,0,0,0 spacing=0,0
common lineHeight=128 base=22 scaleW=256 scaleH=128 pages=1 packed=0
page id=0
chars count=2

char id=97 x=0 y=0 width=128 height=128 xoffset=0 yoffset=0 xadvance=128 page=0 chnl=0
char id=98 x=128 y=0 width=128 height=128 xoffset=0 yoffset=0 xadvance=128 page=0 chnl=0

I had the same problem today. If I enter random things with my keyboard, it doesn't go to the next line but if I write words, sentences etc... then it goes to the next line.
Weird behaviour.

You need to add a space there if you want it to split, or just split it yourself using new line chars.

So I have to add spaces to my font, correct?

I added the space to the font and it now works. Thanks for the help.
