Question about fonts.

Apex

Hello everyone.

How can i add new fonts to my game?

You cannot add fonts in addition to the limited number of built-in fonts. What you can do is create "custom fonts" which are basically an image for each letter of the alphabet (and if needed, numbers, punctuation, etc.) that gets displayed depending on the letter/number you need to show.

Like tatiang says, you are stuck with the fonts already in Gamesalad, but you can create a custom font which is essentially an image for each letter of the alphabet.

But this is far from an ideal solution as most ways of implementing custom fonts (and numbers) produces a fairly ugly monospaced result - unless you are prepared to write your own kerning tables, which although is straightforward enough is a tedious process that takes a long long time.

Hopefully in the future GameSalad will introduce not only the ability to import your own fonts but some basic typography controls (kerning, leading, tracking . . . etc).
