UILabel

[qq33357486]

UILabel.ambigiousFont = yourFont;

But I want to change only one label.
some label has other font

[ArenMook]

so... do just that? I don't understand the issue. Here's the full code, in case it's not clear:

1. GetComponent<UILabel>().ambigiousFont = yourFont;

I have a suggestion value for overflow:
ClampContent with the "..." replacing the last characters at the end of the visible text

I have ui label of emotion icon tag [xp] that work on 3.5.x, but it doesn't work for 3.6.2.

Nothing has changed in regards to emoticons in the past few months that I can think of. The emoticons that are a part of the Arimo20 font that comes with NGUI still work, for example. How can I reproduce the issue on my end?

[Nick_Field]

Emoticons for UILabels with dynamic fonts, I know that isn't possible now (Emoticons == static font icons or user sprites). But Do you plan implement this feature in updates in near future?

[ArenMook]

Not until Unity fixes issues with dynamic fonts.

Unfortunately converting my font to non-dynamic is out the question in this project. But is there a clever (or ugly) way to work around this?

Basically I just want to replace the [X] in:
[X] OPEN
with a button graphic.

The string changes so unfortunately [X] is never in the same position. Is there a way to brute force this by detecting [X]'s position and moving a UISprite to cover it or something?

[ArenMook]

Not easily, no.

[skullthug]

I don't expect it to be easy 

[ArenMook]

NGUIText.PrintCharacterPositions can be used to determine the positions of all characters. You can use it to position your sprite. Just don't forget to call label.UpdateNGUIText() prior to calling that function.

Is there a way to set vertical alignment?  I've implemented a work-around where the text variable has several '\n' characters inserted, but I'd prefer a better solution.

Is it possible or is it planned be implemented a way to use bbcode syntax to define effects (outline/shadow) and/or effect colors for a portion of the text?

[ArenMook]

@Fractalbase: Yes, change the pivot to top or bottom. Bottom-left, Top-right, etc will also work.

@xLeo: No, no plans for that right now.

[Fractalbase]

Are you sure regarding changing the pivot?  I've altered the pivot to be top, then bottom, but the text is always aligned at the center (vertically).
