''I am using LucasArts-style speech (words above the character's head) and my own special font. However, over certain parts of my backgrounds, the text is barely visible and very hard to read, no matter what colour I try to use. What should I do?'' | |||
The only thing you can do... use AGS's built-in font outlining feature. In the '''Fonts''' pane, click the "'''Automatic outline'''" option for custom true-type fonts, or if you are using an SCI (bitmap) font and you already have a matching outline font to use with it, click the "'''Use with outline font'''" option and select which font it is. | |||
For more on fonts, look in the AGS manual ('''AGS.CHM''' file, or '''F1''' inside the Editor) and search for "'''Fonts'''". | |||
