Hello,
Can somebody tell me how to draw all spaces in an irrlicht font, because after using
the spaces are still hidden...
Thanks

I suppose the only way right now would be to replace the space-char in your font-texture with another bitmap.

it's not very clean... if you have a better solution for me...

maybe just replace all spaces with some visible character like underline ("_") ?

if you were creating a game, in spite of spaces in the title would you put underscores "_" ?

I'm confused on what you're trying to do in the first place. Does Irrlicht only place one space between words, regardless of how many spaces are in the string?

yes
e.g: if you write
, Irrlicht writes
by default

Just checked, Irrlicht writes all spaces:
Code: Select all
1) "Transparent Control:" // 1 space here
2) "Transparent Control:" // 6 spaces here

Which font are you using? Irrlicht doesn't really care about spaces different from other characters usually. Do you maybe use some custom font rendering?
