Question by YeeLuke · Apr 01, 2015 at 03:41 AM · uitextcolortransparencyfont

Replacing transparency of text with a solid color?

Hi, is there an easy fix to filling in a text's transparency? I've been messing around with my UI text for a bit and I can't seem to replace the transparency with a solid color.

(In case I wasn't clear enough:) Whenever I change the font type (in this case mine is a custom imported font), and type something out in it, the letters are transparent with a color outline and the interior of the font is transparent. I'm trying to see if I can replace the transparency with a solid color.

If anyone has a solution, help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What type of font are you using? Is it by default a solid or an outline font? Also, could you post a screenshot of your problem?

It's an outline font, is there a way to make it solid?

You would have to search for a solid version of the font you're using. $$anonymous$$ost font sites should give you a preview of the font before you download. So just make sure it's a solid font. Or do what LSPressWorks suggested.

Can't you just make the background image for the Text object whatever solid color you want?

The easiest and best way would be to alter the font itself. IT would use MUCH less overhead than other methods.

At least in VB, which is the last time I did this, raster the text(turn into an image), locate the inside pixels and fill them with a color matching the outline.
