I`m trying to use UI Text with font “Fonts/BlueHighway.sdf”, but it looks like this:
Is UIElement support Signed distance field text?


Your image appears broken to me, but I’m guessing that you did not apply the correct shader.

sorry, the link should be fixed now, I can`t find a way to apply shader to UIElement.

On your custom Material do something like:
material->SetTechnique(0, sdfShader)
And you can also set the shader parameters as necessary to set an effect if you want, one or the other of (or none for normal text):
material->SetShaderParameter("ShadowOffset", shadowOffset);
material->SetShaderParameter("ShadowColor", shadowColor);
// -- or --
material->SetShaderParameter("StrokeColor", strokeColor);
I’ve not tested the above yet, though probably should, would be nice to use SDF in my UIElements as well so I know the text scales well on different screen sizes, would be nice if SDF were default, though I can see why it is not until it is fully refined with a good source.

UIElement has not function to set custom material, also by looking through the implementation of UI::Render, there is no way to set custom shader, I think it`s not a big deal, I can live without that

TBH this is a relatively easy fix.
