How do I switch Sprite font to Spritfont+?

Hello.

I have a game made by someone else, using Sprite Font.

I want to change the width of the characters so the spacing would be different from letter to letter - using JSON. The problem is that the creator of this game used the plugin "Sprite Font", while there are "Sprite Font" and "Spritefont+". Appearnately, only the "+" has the ability to change thee characters' width while the other one doesn't.

Is there a way to make the text objects configured as sprite font into Spritefont+? it seems that the only option is deleteing the existing sprite fonts and recreate them again as Spritefont+ - completely unsmart I guess...

Changing the plugin "Sprite font" to "Spritefont+" in the Object Type Properties isn't available.

Thanks all!

You can use that .json to feed the action 'Set character width' in a loop.

Dont ask me how to parse that json in an array, i have not done that yet. But i guess it is a bit like this.

No need to replace them then. Unless there are other reasons to do so.

You don't need SF+, it just saves a step. You can set each character width in the built in SF.
