    I saw this on Construct 2 Forums, so I thought this might be useful for Visionaire as well. https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86546&start=0

    I believe Simon is possibly already looking into updating the font system at some point.

    Freetype is just a library for rendering from ttf/otf, I was looking into making a runtime generator from ttf/otf, so also chinese, korean and japanese could be used, because premade sprites cannot be used for them. Also it makes things a helluva lot easier.

    well either way it sounds better than the current font image map system.

    Great to know you are looking into it. My personal experience is that Gamemaker's Font System in its editor is the best I have come across (in any game development tool/sdk) yet. Its ease of use and integration is flawless. Please do also have a look into it for some examples and inspiration. Thank you for all the good work looking forward for version 4 (full edition).

    Are you talking about these options? http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/001_advanced%20u... For now it looks like we will have a generate option, that would be looking some like this, but I don't think I do that with ranges, just with a text string as it is now. The other option is, that you just put in a ttf and use that at runtime, so all characters in this ttf can be used.

    What are the requirements for a font image? What I have to do, that the following image is imported correctly for examle? I have seen some line markers in the example game font. Thanks. (No words in the official manual for that)
