PIXI.BitmapText and fnt files

[lars]

Hey

im trying to find a way to load the png file directly, instead of using the fnt reference: 

<page id='0' file='myfont.png'/>

 

Is there a way to do something like this:

 

const bitmapFontText = new PIXI.BitmapText('some text',  "myfont.png", { font: '20px myfont', align: 'left' });

or another workaround.

No idea how to do that. Well, actually lots of ideas but nothing ready

You may find something in issues related to BitmapText and its loading: https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+BitmapText

If there's no such thing, learn the source code of BitmapText and its loader, https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/tree/dev/packages/text-bitmap/src , and hack something.

According to https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/blob/dev/packages/text-bitmap/src/BitmapFontLoader.js#L139 , if you put your texture in loader with a certain name - it will be loaded instead of the corresponding page of your fnt file.
