Hello,

I've been following this tutorial to get custom fonts within my Construct2 Game:

scirra.com/tutorials/557/us ... ur-project
It works, however it seems to be very slow to load, considering its all running locally. I tried following these steps too:

custom-font_t73464

Such as changing the TextFont to change every tick, but that didn't help either.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

How big is your input image? The one with all of the characters?

Input image? I'm using a custom web font, sorry should of mentioned that. The format it uses is .woff2 and its about 40 KB.

But the webfont is stored locally, within in the Files Folder.

Thanks.

Ah, you should look at using a SpriteFont. That is more performance friendly.
