So I've generated a font based on the Apple Butter font from the Cumberland Font works, at 64 pixels tall. My game is set to run at 640x480. You can see the font here: /><br /> <br /> So, by hand, I painted the font spacings under the letters. Bleh. In any case, taking the main.js in the default installation of impactjs, I made a couple of changes:<br /> <br /> 1) I added appleButter-64.font.png to impactjs/media<br /> 2) I changed the font: line to read: font: new ig.Font( 'media/appleButter-64.font.png' ),<br /> <br /> No other changes were made. I expected the text to appear off center, etc, because I didn't change the layout.<br /> <br /> However, I see the loading screen, it takes a second to load, and then...<br /> <br /> blank screen.<br /> <br /> I changed the font line back to use the 04b03.font.png, and it works again. So what am I doing wrong here? </div> </div> <div class=

If you can throw a mini-instance of this online, I can take a look for you? :)

I guess it could be that you haven't actually finished the font image? There's a whole lowercase and some other characters left. :)

Your font image is fine and the font - in fact - works. However, you have to be careful to only use those letters that are present in your font image. So for this font you can only use uppercase letters. E.g.:

font.draw( 'TEST', x, y ); // This works
font.draw( 'test', x, y ); // This doesn't

// You can also use the .toUpperCase() method, to make sure 
// you only draw upper case letters:
font.draw( 'test'.toUpperCase(), x, y );

Boy, is my face red. Thanks, both of you. The lack of small letters was intended.

Wow, I hope this at least helps somebody else so I can feel like it's not completely silly :)
