While not reinventing the wheel so to speak you can now just drag the font actors onto your scene instead of double clicking and changing the self.div each time you add a new actor, also shows you how to add multiple custom fonts.

Awesome
I like it. You take it one step further and you make custom font workaround less of a workaround.
@DeepBlueApps wont add to cart.
@DeepBlueApps Its been almost 12 hrs. Still wont add to your shopping cart.
Ive just tried it and it downloaded fine.
Nice way of auto adding the divider attribute Darren!
You could even improve it by detecting values and hiding numbers not needed or better still, centering the numbers. This is always long winded and confuses many.
Thanks for sharing.

@gingagaming Like this?
Updated to include an auto spacer (change a game.integer), auto line up based on the X Y of the 1st actor.
Hide/Show unused fonts via a game.boolean.
File has been updated….
Looks great Darren. I'm sure this will help many achieve custom fonts a lot easier!

Ok so let me get this straight. If I took the time and added all my favortie fonts. And made a 0-9 and added them to this project. Then all i would have to do is use your merger program. Merge this font demo into my current project. and BAMMM I have a fast. Font editor? And all i have to do is change the "number"..floor to "fontname"..floor. Then tweek the spacing and size and time per tick.
Yeah @FINNBOGG
Nice one @DeepBlueApps! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the mention, @DeepBlueApps. I actually intended to post this last Friday but you beat me to it and I didn't want to step on your toes
Your method is definitely the better one if you have lots of numbers to display, no question.
There's probably the perfect method somewhere between the two!

Great Template Darren hope it's ok tacking this on the thread
Has anyone solved the custom fonts issue for displaying large blocks of paragraph text? We are now paying for this software and yet we get 14 fonts we get to use in our games for text.
