When running my game in the editor, I see this on the title screen for example:
But when building for Windows Release, I see this:
The . character disappears. When the player types their email into the leaderboards area for registering a PlayFab account, the same issue occurs.
I’m using the mongram font, found here: monogram by datagoblin
I tried checking “All Characters” in the editor, however that did not seem to help.
Could you please create a ticket on GitHub?
I wrote out the full issue report with an example project, but playing with it some more I discovered it is the monogram font itself at 16 px size causes the . character to disappear. I tried different sizes and it does work, so I will be swapping fonts for my game. Anti-aliasing did not affect the result.
Edit: After switching to m5x7 font, the same is happening at 16 px. I’ll make a ticket.
Bug report is here with minimal project attached:
Are you using a bitmap or distance field font?
Both tested fonts are bitmap.
I’m able to repro it here. We’ll look into it, can’t say exactly when though.
Solved this problem by editing the TTF file a bit. The problem in Defold engine is not yet fixed, but the workaround works without negative artifacts. See GitHub ticket for details. I’ll mark this forum post as solved.
