I just want change the font in my menu…(Comics Sans, for instance :P)…For this, need I create another “defaultfont.tga” ? Or have some method() that can change the font style?

Thx a lot!!!

Yes you need to create your own font texture. I know there's some tools to do that, http://www.google.com/search?q=Bitmap+font+generator

Don't know which are compatible with jME (probably you have to make the font fixed width for jME).

Thank you llama!!! XD

And if you use Comic Sans, we will ban your account

hehe, I echo that sentiment.

You should be able to use Text3D without depth so as to get the same effect you've already got, but without the nasty bitmap crap. :o You can always go the bitmap route, but in my opinion it will never look as good.

I don't have the code in front of me at the moment, but I thought it had been checked in. Search the forums about it. It was a pretty recent contribution to provide TTF 3d fonts.

It's in CVS. com.jmex.text3d package. There's also a test in jmetest.text
