Dynamic Font question
« on: May 29, 2013, 01:28:34 AM »
What exactly does the "Dynamic Font" support mean? I could not find any explanation other than that you can now use TTF fonts in NGUI, but I am not sure if that would really make them "dynamic." Does it mean that we can finally switch to bold and italic font faces within a single output string, the way we can switch colors, or perhaps even font sizes? If so, how? Any new functionality we should know about?

Perhaps, I've just overlooked detailed information about these new dynamic fonts, but if there is, can someone please point me towards it so I could see what benefits this will actually offer over the traditional bitmapped fonts.

It basically means you don't need to load a premade font sheet for every character at every size you need, instead the font sheet will be dynamically created as you need them.It's much better for memory.
