Hello,
Is there any way to get fonts look good in irrlicht .NET?
I have seen that there is the TrueType font "extension" but it isn't for .NET version.
Any help is appreciated....

Hi,
"To make the font a little bit nicer, we load an external font and set it as new font in the skin. An at last, we create a nice Irrlicht Engine logo in the top left corner."
Code: Select all
IGUISkin skin = env.Skin;
IGUIFont font = env.GetFont(path + "fonthaettenschweiler.bmp");
if (font != null) {
skin.Font = font;
}
Take a look at Tutorial 5

Well, I have tried to load my own fonts (generated with the font creation tool) but they all look like crap
. So that is somewhat out of the question.

Can you post a image from your "crap" font?

Yeah, I experience the same font-crapperizing; I think we have to understand Irrlicht isn't going to antialias the fonts like windows does. I can't explain why the aspect ratios of individual characters come up funny, though.
