"The AppGameKit will look for images 32.png up to and including 127.png in the subimages file and any not found will default to the space character (32.png)."

I tried many times to use my own text font . but all failed ,

I only need to use numbers in my game , so I rename the number images with 48.png 49.png - 57.png.

then I use Imagejoiner.exe to join them together.there is no other image,such as letters.

then I use SetTextFontImage() to load my own Text font. but I can't make success.

anyone can give me a hand ?

Why not using this: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=189225&b=41

+ this code:



Then you don't need to use seperate image files for the numbers.

If you only need the numbers just load the images using "loadSubImage" and manually use the number sprites when needed. Then you don't need to load a whole font just for the numbers?

Well you'll need to create one sprite for each number but you could create a number "Type" that saves the sprites for an integer so you could then keep track of 'sets' of sprites. I would store the data as follows:

IE.


...or you could create a string from the list of sprite numbers and parse the string when you need to move / edit / delete the set.

There was a correction to the documentation recently, it will actually look for images named "32" to "127" without the ".png" on the end, also 32 must always exist, even if it is just blank.
