I consider myself a pretty adept creator of GUIs, but the lack of custom fonts is what's killing the mood for my creations. Will this feature ever be added?

Then again, people would spam everything with Comic Sans.

It's already possible. There's a few scripts out there.

*Maybe* a SmallFont (Minecraft) style font is possible. But honestly, I would be happy with this feature. I've been stuck using images.

No way I'm going to create my own engine and upload a bunch of individual decals. It might be "possible" but I'm not going to do it. Moving GUIs with a smooth transition was possible but Roblox added actual methods for doing so.

I agree so much. While it could theoretically be done with decals it's too troublesome and would likely take a while to load.

Would be really nice if you could upload your own fonts. I'm not sure if that's what you guys meant or if you just meant a wider variety of fonts.

Well a wider variety of fonts would always be a plus, but font uploading seems like the best idea right now.

I'd rather access to httpget :D!

...So many possibilities :o.

But while that's not going to happen, more fonts would be cool but I'd really like to see rotatable guis. Only killer is that it won't work for decals... or so I heard.

Rather not decals, but image labels/image buttons.

if we used clipsdescendants in conjunction with a font template, then the template would be cloned for each character typed, to my understanding. wouldn't that take up a lot of memory?

They should allow us to upload decals with the font using a texture and have a property called "FontTexture" or not.
