jamiemcl001 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to use custom fonts in the PixiJS Text Constructor? I know that it is possible to use BitmapText but when scaling these Bitmap Fonts down I'm getting issues where the text looks quite jagged. This may not be possible but I wanted to check I wasn't doing something stupid before going down the BitmapText route. I've created a Fiddle of this issue (link) - please let me know if you spot anything obvious. Thanks,Jamie. Quick update: After looking online - I've noticed that it's predominantly because the fonts haven't successfully loaded before trying to create a Text Element in Pixi. The only way that seems to consistently load the font in time is by using a Font Loader (link to TypeKit). I was wondering if anyone knows of any other workaround that doesn't require another library to be used? As I say, using BitmapText becomes jagged when I need to change the scale.

xerver Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Browsers don't have great ways of knowing when fonts are loaded, using a lib to load custom fonts (and more importantly know when they are available in the browser). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
