    Yes, it's looks better , but can you see the spaces in the words?

    They are not real spaces.

  • Hi ffffff,

    Sprite font characters must be monospaced (each stored in an equal sized cell).

    blackhornet has created a fantastic tool to do this for you. It might help you to check it out (see here).

    Good luck.

  • Are you setting the width of each letter? You have to do that in Events. Here, see my example:

    Thank you,but I can't run it on win7 64bit

    It keeps crashing.

    don't know why.

    Thank you,this is best way for now.

  • Paradox Download your .capx again, then try to scroll in C2 editor, it perfectly crashes. I think it's a bug...

  • same think here, C2 crash with your capx

  • Weird.

    I switch to the View tab and turn off snap to grid and it works without crashing.

    That was an example from a bug report, I thought it was a sprite font report, but maybe that was from a snap to grid report...

  • I noticed that the grid actually disappears if you scroll, and then it crashes.

    I think , it was from "snap grid + sprite font" .

    I crash 2 times with this combination .

    But it never happen again in the 3rd or 4th.
