Hello fellows Jimkiters!
I genuinely don’t know if this is an intentional feature or not.
But I was messing around with texts
I make a “. . . . .” works with any amount of dots
Set its outline to max
and um…
Even crazier is that different fonts make different patterns
Why is this happening?
What other stuff in texts can do this?
Is this a bug?
What is going on???

This might be one of those very special symbols you get by typing certain letters or keyboard stuff like > # W % X ( & ` in a certain order.
Edit: I just realized it’s the “Stroke Width” border and different fonts that are causing this. :\

This is not a bug. I tested it. Every dot has different styles.

Oh wow, very cool!
I believe most, if not all special characters will undergo the same outlining effect.

The not-a-bug tag is only for Bugs topics. Why this tag exists, I don’t know. Its pretty useless in my opinion.
Also I’m pretty sure this is a bug. As most fonts leave their period image the same as an Ariel font, the outline should not change depending on the font. Although, @Gimkitsuggestor is definitely right about this being a neat in game art technique!

LEts think… Um maybe cool patterned floors? and maybe some of the designs for cartoony eyes?
with this we could maybe tinker with other sorts of this type of outlining Behavior to see if we can find new patterns and sorts?

Custom patterns for the shield prop? The ones cut into quarters could be used for a crash-test dummy.
Can someone supply me with the number of fonts possible, and the max number of how much str0ke width can be used? I wanna try something.
Okay, if there’re 15 fonts, and 37 sizes of str0ke width (including 0) then there should be…
555 different ways to make these symbols.

Question, does text size have an effect
Edit: Yes it does, and quite an intresting thing happened with the text size.
The dot grew, but the outline did not, creating this.
At 144(The last dot), it looks completely normal.
At 1(The first dot), we were able to completely hide the dot, leaving just the outline pattern.
Good to know!
HelloSmartie:
Also only 1 color
outline color can be changed yk

By the way I looked at this one could be a header
I made this with the Rye font and bangers works to
Could be a nice header.
But it only can be 30 max font before it breaks apart
Also only 1 color

I did this for fun
They are all 30 font.
44 dots in each one, no spaces between them
all black font and outline
To make it look more clean and organic, cause its a header, one color is the best. That’s why I said that. I knew outline color could be changed.

Hey guys,
you guys think of the ideas to make out of this..
Kormorant:
what kinds of ideas?
Basically whatever you can make with these text items, like for example barbed wire if you combine alot of dots together.
