FontStyle node

FontStyle {
  SFFloat size 12
  SFString style ""
  MFString justify ["LEFT" "TOP"]
  MFString family ["SYSTEM"]
}

Special attributes for Text and WrapText nodes.

SFFloat size 12:
Size is limited by the tree internal Java fonts: small(size < 10), large ( 10 <= size <= 16) and huge (size > 16).

SFString style "":
Text style, default is plain when string is empty. May be one of plain, italic or bolditalic.

MFString justify ["LEFT" "TOP"]:
Text alignment, default is ["LEFT" "TOP"].
First string defines the horizontal alignment, one of LEFT, MIDDLE or RIGHT.
The second string defines the vertical alignment, one of TOP, MIDDLE, BOTTOM, BASELINE.

MFString family ["SYSTEM"]:
Text font, default is SYSTEM. May be one of SHERIF (monospace), SANS (proportional) or SYSTEM. You can use additional families, see "Additional Font" paragraph.

Copy the .ttf file of the font in directory src.
Put the name of your font in family field of the FontStyle Node. Syntax: family "myFont/*" (no extension ".ttf")
The list of character A-Za-z0-9 + special characters is transformed into a bitmap depending on the font size. For optimization, if you want a subset of A-Za-z0-9, please replace "/*" after "myFont" by the list of character you will use. (with text in example at end of the page, optimized declaration would be family "myFont/Myexample" (case sensitive)
Bitmap is used at runtime to display the font

Note:
For each non native font, always configure the same font size (mandatory). It is advised to configure for each non native font the same color in emissiveColor field of Material associated with the Text Node.

The tfd (textual font description) format is the text format of bitmap internal fonts.

You should fill the following values:

max width and height of characters
total number of characters in the font
line of characters. And for each character line :
ASCII code
position of top left in the bitmap
size of the character (w, h)
delta to draw current character
delta to draw next character

The tfd file is automatically generated from a TrueType file. It enable to build your own colored font from a bitmap. Then, you can manage graphisms with a Text node, it's more simple and light. Moreover it keep 100% compatibility with the player.
Example: the Sudoku widget.
