Searching for what? I looked already for 'outline font' but there wasn't anything helpful.

Can't just somebody explain me how to do this?

Yeah, as soon as I download the beta... I don't know if I do before release of 2.57.

I'd like to know wher eit is in the manual, too, becuase I couldn;t find it either. I hope that all these people who have posted RTFMs have actually checked that it is there!

On the other hand, if you select a font in AGS257b2 then it's pretty obvious how to do the auto-outlining


OK, OK, There's 3 radio buttons above the font alphabet: No Outline, Auto outline and Use outline font #. Select the middle one!

Yeah, I didn't really think it needed to be mentioned in the manual - I thought the radio buttons on the Fonts tab were self-explanitory.

What would you want it to say in the manual?

Sorry. Above the font alphabet is just this:
-Use with outline font checkbox
-Import font button
-Rever to default button

but NOWHERE there is an automatically create outline font checkbox are button. What do I wrong?

You have to be using 2.57beta2 to have this feature. Download it from the top thread in the Tech Forum (first post).

QuoteAnd you sure you got the 2.57 beta?

Sorry.....

/me hides

Of cource I meant the newest beta, I wasn't sure in which this was added, but when mentioned that it's in the beta, it's a good idea to check the beta release thead...

Thanks. I thought I'd already downloaded it, but it probably was Beta1 and not Beta2.
