Emoticon aspect ratio

[AeornFlippout]

Our emoticons seem to be only showing up in our font with a square shape. Is this by design - or should we expect that the shape it would take in the label would match the aspect ratio of the source image?

You can adjust this by adjusting the padding of the sprite in question. Select the sprite in the atlas and tweak them to see the result right away.

Hmm, I'm not seeing that changing the padding affects the shape of the Emoticons, only the offset within the label and the overall size.
I'm also not seeing it update until I restart the game.

Is this a feature that only works with dynamic fonts or something?

It won't change the shape. The shape is whatever the sprite is. If you choose a rectangular shape, it will also be rectangular. Padding lets you control the spacing around the emoticon, which is what I meant.

The changes to the emoticon sprite should update the emoticons within text right away -- at least they do on my end (and I just double-checked to confirm).

Ahh - indeed you're right. It turns out I had a rogue transform scale on one of the objects in the hierarchy.
Sorry for the false alarm
