Unikron for President (and font outline question)

[DannyB]

Dude,

I just started playing with the font capabilities of TK2D and they are legendary!
I love the ease of use and the awesome gradients feature, and the nice handling of kerning and everything.

Really well done!

In the Font Tutorial the screenshots show the text mesh with what seems to be a nice black outline.

Is there a way for me to achieve such effect? I could not find any setting for it so far. Am I misinterpreting the screenshots?

Thanks.

The outline is created in the font itself. In BMFont, you have an option to create an outline.
If you wanna do this, use the settings shown in this tutorial -

I think I did follow it to the letter.
I probably missed some BMfont setting, will look again.

Thanks.

BMFont - Export options: 32 bit,
Channels A - outline,
RGB -  glyph

In font settings, set Outline thickness to whatever you need there.

Thanks, I used RGB one or something, as per the tutorial.

Will play with it more. I love the font settings you have created.
