    Edit: Got clarification on the font licenses.

    Thanks for the font usage info ...
    But All fonts used in the tool are free to use from Google Font collection:
    https://developers.google.com/fonts/

    The font in question in the previous users post: love ya like a sister:
    https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Love+Ya+Like+A+Sister

    Is part of the FREE TO USE google set...

    Cheers

    @wayneh001 really +++ fantastic tool beautifully implemented :) A desktop version that worked with locally installed fonts and maybe supported gradients and textures would be nice too.

    Thanks for the clarification, just trying to look out for everyone. Again great tool.

    @tmann thank you and everyone for your comments.

    I'll add gradient and texture support on the next version - won't be hard to implement. Drop shadows and other effects will be in the next version too.

    Also, I could do it so you can use your own fonts - from your own computer. But would mean the user knowing where the fonts are located.. I'll have a think about this option, and see if there's a 'smooth' process/workflow for this..

    Cheers

    @Lovejoy - No problem.
    Users should always double check the rights and permissions on fonts, audio and graphics they use in their apps. Especially resources they find on the Internet..

    Great tool Wayne!

    All my games have used syllabic fonts. Add this feature and you would save me hours and hours of work!

    Fantastic tool! This will be very handy and a great time saver. Thank you very much for sharing ...

    Going to save me tons of time! Thanks guys!

    Would also love the ability to import a font from my machine as you mentioned.

    This is really, really useful. Excellent tool, and so easy to use. As for the shading and textures, until that request is added, you can just manually adjust the PNG files in a photo editing app such as Pixlr. :+1:
    @Thunder_Child check this out, you were doing something with fonts last time we talked. :D

    Wayne never fails to impress me with his continued support for the GameSalad community, another excellent tool.

  • gingagaminggingagaming FREELANCE GS DEV Member Posts: 1,688

    Great work Wayne. Lovin the new tools. This will save me lots of time (and recycling fonts!) Especially love the force size option. Add some gradients and effects and there are not limits!

    Creating the custom score was one of the most annoying parts of making games - Thanks for the fix.

    Awesome. I can see this saving me a ton of time.

    Aside from using my own downloaded fonts, drop shadows, etc, one suggestion would be to allow the user to specify the spacing between the numbers, just to be able to see what they look like at different values.

    And maybe have the option of a background color.
