I am unable to change the font in UMG Widget. I have added the font that I want to change to in the Slate/Fonts/ folder and things work perfectly fine on Windows but when I do the same thing on MacBook the font doesn’t get updated.
I have placed the font in the MacBook’s Slate/Font/ directory as well but it simply doesn’t detect my custom font. Please help
I’m using Unreal Engine 4.5
Hello GameEon Infotech Pvt. Ltd,
I was able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have written up a report (UE-8193) and I have submitted it to the developers for further consideration. I will provide updates with any pertinent information as it becomes available. Thank you for your time and information.
Make it a great day
Hi,
I’ve taken a look at UE-8193 but I’ve been unable to reproduce this issue on OS X (using 4.5.1).
Does the same thing happen if you put your font inside the “Slate/Fonts” directory for your games content (you may have to make this)? This is the more correct place for your font to live as Engine content (which is where you said you put it before) can change in future versions.
You may also be interested to know that UMG was changed for 4.6 to use composite font assets, rather than rely on you providing filenames: Text Formatting and Fonts in UMG for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
Thanks.
