Title: I make a font by myself and it‘s not enough thick！
Post by: noob22 on August 29, 2012, 09:04:02 PM

As I say，how to make a font thick enough？
Or how to make a bold font？
I saw font’s effect which have outline and shadow.
If I want a bold font，I need make another texture？

Yes, to make the font bold you will have to generate a new font at the size/boldness you want.

For fonts in NGUI, is you want to be pixel perfect, you need to figure out all the fonts and sizes you need in your game, such as :
- Tahoma Regular 50px
- Tahoma Regular 40px
- Tahoma Bold 100px
- Arial Italic 20px

And then export each of these fonts to a unique atlas font.

I need make each of these fonts to a unique atlas font.Is it's size too large?I make a font which size is 600k for assetbundle.
If I make a unique atlas font , it need 2,3m?

Maybe your font is English.
I make a chinese font which have 20 or 30 percent of chinese characters in one atlas of 2048x2048px.
If  make a different font, I may use another 2048x2048.

You may need to use packed fonts then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY6jQ7d2ius
