Title: No more packed font?
Post by: kellykelly82 on December 07, 2013, 11:36:35 PM

I upgraded to NGUI 3.0.6 from 3.0.2 last night.

I found that my all packed font broken.

I recreated packed font again by BMFont. But still font looks broken.

I searched packed font topic in this forum and release note. But I can't found any info.
(I found one person's script for NGUI 3.0.x)

NGUI no more support Packed Font???

Packed font is very useful for asian language. I like packed font than dynamic font...

If I wanna use it, I should modify ngui script?

I'm curious on why you think a packed bitmap font is more useful than a dynamic font. Seems to me that a dynamic font would be superior in every way. You couldn't do bitmapped outlines or coloring with a packed font, so any advantage bitmap fonts is negated.

I know it's easy to use dynamic font than bitmap font.
But some devices has issue with dynamic font. (snapdragon and adreno)
Also there's font license issue.

Hmm... you're right, I looked at the code and the section that handled packed fonts seems to be missing. I must have removed it by accident when adding gradients. I will add it back in, thanks.
