[Solved] Font with border?

Font with border?

the title says all

anyone know how to draw the font with every single char bordered? it's so sexy :Q_

I do not know ...

You can either write a rederer for your text or take the easy way out and just write the text 5 times. Both will be a bit laggy but writing it 5 times may have a worse strain on your processor.(Unless of course you have a good one)

Draw your text but each time count one pixel off, like so.
Drawing text at 50 x and 100 y

Code:

topleftx + 51, toplefty + 100 // Right      draw this black
topleftx + 49, toplefty + 100 // Left      draw this black
topleftx + 50, toplefty + 101 // Down      draw this black
topleftx + 50, toplefty + 99 // Up      draw this black
topleftx + 50, toplefty + 100 // Original text      draw this white

i used this way

thank you, it works fine ^^ i don't think that the CPU will be angry with me for making it drawing x4 texts xD

Humm.. try drawing Two Text Example
DrawText( PosX +10,PosY + 10,"XD",RED,pDevice);//Font size = 12
DrawText( PosX +10,PosY + 10,"XD",RED,pDevice);//font Size = 12.1 or 13... i dont know... it must be 1 or 2 pixels more big

I dont tried it never :P

You could do that but it wont look as good, nor will it be properly aligned. If you start drawing both on the same X & Y The left side wouldn't be outlined. Given, they are both started in the same place it will extend further right.

DirectX DrawText method with outline - DirectX and XNA - GameDev.net
This would have a fix for it though.

Oh true, I did not think about it

Oops, wrong thread, Draw a box around it, or add it to the Function that draw's the text to get the length of it

DrawText(x - 1, y - 1)
DrawText(x + 1, y + 1)

It should work
