Text Style will not set to "Bold".

[Googie85]

Hi Guys...

I have downgraded from LC 9.6.3 to LC 9.05 and I cannot set the text style of a field to "bold". The reason for downgrading is, the file size is 30mb smaller once compiled to an .apk file using the earlier version of LC.



The text in the "Start Game" button is set to "Bold" but it will not reflect once installed on an Android Device. However, with LC 9.6.3, everything works fine.

Any ideas on what might be causing this or a remedy to fix this issue?

Many Thanks,

Googie.

LC used to implement artificial text styling where the text was adjusted to simulate styles. It's changed now to only use real font styles, the ones included in the font package. If you change the text font to one that includes real text styles it should work. Since you're on Android, try Roboto or Droid Sans.

If you want to keep the original font, see if there's a newer package that includes all style variations. You can add it to Copy Files in the standalone builder and script the app to start using the font.

You can also do something like this:

Code: Select all

import snapshot from button "Start Game"

in the messageBox.

This will give you an image (which you can use as a button) that will stay exactly the way you want it on any platform.
