[4.9 mac] Use Distance Field Alpha messes the font up

anonymous_user_389e656c · October 11, 2015, 11:30pm

I’m trying to setup a font for using it with a textrenderactor.
I’ve followed one of the many tutorials on the subject I have found:

When I enable Use Distance Field Alpha anyway, the preview of the font gets all messed up (see screenshot)
What am I doing wrong?

Any feedback? Anybody experiencing the same problem?

I have the same problem in Engine version 4.14.1 on Mac OSX 10.12.1.

It’s not just the preview that’s messed up - using this font on a UTextRenderComponent has the same problem.

FWIW, This does appear to be a Mac bug with Font Import.
The fonts imported on Mac were also “messed up” when used on Windows.
A quick “Reimport” on a Windows machine and all was fine.

I’m having this problem on windows 10, version 4.17. My texture will be working fine but when I reimport it’ll randomly do this and I’ll have to delete it and set it up again from scratch.
