Question by Dollar-Fish · Jun 01, 2016 at 11:17 PM · texturespritetextfontcustom

Sprites to Numbers That Act Like Fonts

I want to use these sprites, listed from 0-9, as my score for my game. The catch is that I want it to be a font. It will work exactly how a font works. Its like I am using a font(for numbers only), but for sprites. I can't use these sprites as a normal font because they are custom looking sprites. I don't need any sort of coding, meaning I won't manual code each letter to work, it will work exactly how text works in Unity, just custom looking text. Thank you in advance.

Here you go. It definitely works with UI Text. I could not get it to work with 3D text. BTW, this is called a bitmap font. I use them all the time. There are also several nice utilities in the Asset Store for creating bitmap fonts from images.

Could you tell me what program you used to generate this? If its like a licensed program, can you generate it using this image instead? Thank you so much, it worked better than I thought. I still need to make some adjustments but you put me in the right path. I just want this instead. alt text
