I made a scroller with an external txt file which is loaded into the scroller itself. Anyways, the font I used was a miniml pixel font, and I saw it fine. I showed it to another person and it was all blurry and not the same font at all. I used dynamic text to make the scroller…

What I want to know is:

1. In order to see a pixel font not installed on other systems, does it always have to be static?

2. What about input text? If that certain font is not installed on another system, will it display correctly?

3. In my case, I used dynamic text for the scroller. It did not display correctly on another computer that did not have that same font installed. What do I need to do to make it so that people who dont have the font can still see it?

Thank you :crazy:

You need to embed the font outline.

Right click on your textbox, open the properties panel, in there will be a button that says “Character…”, click on that and choose to embed the font outline.
