Different materials for fonts

[igmon]

Hi,

I would like to know how to go about using different materials for fonts. 

So let's say I have a global atlas that includes all the sprites. Then I have a font configured to reference a sprite in that global atlas.  But I want to have that font use a different material so that I can apply a separate shader used by the font but not by everything else.

So far the only way I can see this work is if I create a separate atlas with it's own texture and put the font's sprite in there.  Then from there, assign it a different shader.  But ideally I'd want only one texture, and maybe have two atlas, each with their own material and use the same texture. Is that possible?

You don't need to create an atlas for fonts. It's just an option. In the font maker, don't specify an atlas, and it will just create a material for you using the font's original texture.

Ah I see.  I missed that part, it even explains it.  I can work with that, so essentially just have different font names that use the same data.  I was hoping to share the same texture with the atlas but have different materials used, but that's fine.

Thanks!
