This means if you try to put in RGBA values that you got from a Color Picker online, the values wont give you the correct color. It’s cumbersome having to find the exact file you need. Change X or Y values Get Font Color Values. Where you just load a font, and it’s weights and variants (like italics) get detected and can be selected in the interface. Lastly, a big improvement would be auto-detection of a family. You could of course use a variable font for simplicity and only expose fixed weight options in the interface settings. It would of course be nice to support it in the 3d text tool for creative uses, but I would stick with fixed weights for the interface. I also don’t think variable fonts benefit anyone for the interface. If not, might I suggest Inter as a better alternative to Roboto as another commenter did as well? So if I understand correctly, Noto is always the fallback? Might be best to keep things simple and use Noto sans as default. And compared to none, it does seem to only change letter spacing or width.

I also don’t see a difference between slight and full hinting.
Something about macOS’ (my display dpi ~220) font handling seems to be superior, then? Things are perfectly legible there without hinting.
It was fairly recently that Google commissioned the work to create a variable version of it called “Roboto Flex” In Blender, we have to browse for these fonts and input them for each text object. Most fonts we use have multiple versions to account for these different styles. Both Roboto and Noto fonts are still under active development. Whenever we change a font from regular to bold, italic or both, we really change font for the selected portion of the text. The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) was invented many years ago, in 1987, and in the 1990s it was one of the few methods to insert an animation into an html page, but later fell into disuse due to the emergence of new technologies, such as Flash and HTML5.

So currently about 3 billion Android devices use Roboto and fallback to Noto.įollowing Google here takes advantage of their expertise. In this tutorial we will see how to create an animated gif in Blender (updated to Blender 2.8) using the Bligify addon. In fact this is exactly what you get on all Android devices since 2013. Although originally designed for larger sizes, it actually works really well as a UI font.īut using Roboto as the first font works very well as it also stylistically matches with Noto by design. An easy choice is just Noto Sans, although that is not (yet) available as a variable font.Īnother easy choice is Noto Sans Display, which is variable. We could use any first font as long as it matches well with the Noto family. why not using Noto at the first place, with the mono on the script editor, and fall back to another languages (of Noto sans) when missing. I don’t get why we should use Roboto as the first font, if we fall back to Noto sans.
