Hi,

Running Defold Engine version 1.14.0 under Linux x86\_64.  
I added a custom TTF font and created a label and placed it into the game.  
I can see the custom TTF font label in the editor, but when running the game the label is not shown?  
Totally new to Defold Engine, hope someone can help me, thanks!

NOTE # 1: If I use the Defold default font, the label does show when running.  
(Something I did wrong with TTF font import, but don’t know how to fix it)

Might be because z=0.5 and the camera near Z default is 0.1, so if you have not changed that it will not render.

Hi,

The font material and label material were incorrect.  
Have it working now, thank you.
