Hi there!

Let's make it work! :)

Can you send me a sample project with your settings? Your font file, etc?

Then I can take a look and figure out why it is not working.

Thank you for reaching out! While I was able to get the font used in your demo to work everywhere, I still cannot get my own font to work. The issue was that the letters.txt file from the demo had an extra character (specifically @) on the end which your default set of Symbol characters that gets auto-filled does not. After I added that it worked like a charm. I'm going to message you on Patreon for a non-public way to share the test project with my font.

Nice! I will answer you there! ^^

Hi! Sorry to butt into the conversation, but has this issue been resolved? I have the pro version of the plugin and I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure how to set it up.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Yes, that problem was solved. It was a bad configuration of the bitmap.png file. Due to that, the plugin was not being able to properly calculate the width of each letter.

The problem was the following:

The bitmap was 75 letters. But, the PNG file was with 453 of width. If you do 453/75 = 6,04. 

This means that each letter, on the PNG file, is not on its own grid. They must be organized on the PNG file, each of them in their own grid, like a sprite sheet. 

It does not matter their position inside the grid. But they must be inside it. 

So if you open the PNG file(With an image editor like GIMP or PS) of the bitmap font I did on the sample project, you will see that it does have 97 letters, each of them has its own grid, which is 20 in width. And the PNG file's total width is 1940. 

1940/97 = 20 

So these numbers must match. And in this case, the calculations were being: 453/75 = 6,04. 

So the plugin was not being able to properly calculate the width of each letter, resulting in not managing to space them correctly on the texts. 

An example was that the first letter of the PNG file was on a grid of 6,04 width, and that was messing up the calculations:


So you need to open your PNG file and adjust the letters to have their own grids.

Let me know if you manage to solve ^^
