Text rendering bug

🌵 Needle Engine
21

unfortunately the issue persist after i deleted the dist folder and builded with the last needle version. maybe it is related with mesh compression, as it works ok in a dev build

Hm, there have been issues with the cache in the past in regards to fonts.

Last cache i’m aware of is this one. Could you try to clean it and deploy it?

Mesh compression should be unique to the mesh which is a part of the glb.
The font is not.

24

i did it, but the issue persisted

Ok, i’ll try to use the font you provided and see if that fails.

26

Hm, the font works for me without any issues.

So let’s start from the beginning and let’s try this:

  1. Rename the font and deploy again, (Nomad_Regular → Yesmad_Regular). This will 100% produce a new file with a new name etc.
    → Issue is with the cache

  2. On the specific text, replace the font with Ariel and see if the issue is there.
    → Issue is the font / how it is exported → But we don’t know why is that.

  3. Change all texts in the scene to Ariel and then start adding Nomad font one by one and see what text breaks it.
    → That isolates the factor that could cause it.

  4. Test the scene without any FontAdditionalCharacters component AND make sure there’s only ONE instance of the component in the scene!
    (you can search for all objects that contain a component by typing t:FontAdditionalCharacters into the hierarchy search.

I hope we get to the bottom of this! :cactus:

i tried all the steps, but the issue persists

So, the font was broken when you renamed it? AND when it was just on a single text component?

31

Do other fonts break?

32

Yes and no

33

All the fonts break now apparently

The bug reproduces on my Samsung s10 on chrome and iPhone xs on safari

37

It works on windows/mac and iPhone 15pro safari

by user 263677777536876546

38

is it possible that the font is cached on the devices?
Can you try it in incognito mode on a device where it breaks?

39

It works now on incognito!
