I setup the font with: Code: Copy Dim bitmapfont As lgBitmapFont then in lg_create: Code: Copy bitmapfont.Initialize bitmapfont.SetColorRGBA(0, 0, 0, 1) 'Blue in lg_render I then call: Code: Copy bitmapfont.Draw(Batch,"Score",50%x,50%y)

So I generated one using this: http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/ And then saved the fnt file into my files folder for my project. I then initialised the font in B4A using the line: Code: Copy bitmapfont.Initialize2(lGdx.Files.internal("bmfont.fnt")) And this has worked Upvote 0
