Title: Adding custom fonts from computer and changing the color and outlines of the tex
Post by: Setap on June 08, 2020, 05:24:08 PM: It will be cool if we could change the font to one from our computer and also changing the color of the text and outlines, now that we can add text all over the place.

That's what I suggested 69420 times and it never got added

Post by: CGM on July 12, 2020, 07:00:05 PM: Ahhh....wait, wha? Fonts are copyrighted!? Woah. That's...woah. That sounds awfully crazy to me. In my opinion. Well, then we'll just use custom pre-rendered letter image fonts!

So you're trashing one of the most basic suggestions ever because you learned about a thing that is univerally obvious to everyone except you? Thats very pathetic of you because we need that and you know it yourself. TingThing just have to add more cc0 fonts and just disable custom fonts for explore. Thats all.

Post by: CGM on July 13, 2020, 05:36:55 AM: I wasn't trashing anything. I was simply shocked that they were copyrighted. And I said then we'll just enable the ability to do what TingThing did. I don't see what's so pathetic about that.

Post by: War on July 13, 2020, 08:50:28 AM: Wait they're actually just images? Thats cool, letter spritesheets sounds hella more practical to me than font files since if we get this, we wouldn't even need to get options for text color and outline. Still, did you really expected that you could use Super Mario 256 in commercial projects?

Post by: CGM on July 13, 2020, 02:30:28 PM: Exactly. Seriously, how is that considered "trashing" anything?

I think DG does something similar if I'm understanding correctly. Will you add in the near future
a custom fontmap system? Like tilesets but with all letters for a font.
