Why is my text label font showing up as boxes?

Asked 275 views1 answers

Yesterday I was making an intro for my game. The text was fine yesterday and had no boxes replacing the text. However, when I opened up my place today, the text was replaced with these strange boxes.

If I move the gui with the broken text to other places, it stays the same. However, when I make a new gui with a new text label, the text isn't broken.

Other places with new guis with new text labels don't have the broken text.

I really don't want to restart my intro and I want to ask, is there any way to fix this?

those boxes are Unkown Symbols. (Characters not in the font you are using)

What do you mean, "Characters not in the font you are using?"

I think your best solution would to replace the unknown text with normal text, and then change the font that you like best.

I hope this helps answer your question.

I tried your solution, and it seems certain fonts turn into the unknown text.

This is the text that I changed it to: https://prnt.sc/r4646m - SourceSansBold. I want to change it to GothamBold, but as you know, GothamBold shows up as unknown text: https://prnt.sc/r465ca

Maybe try setting it through script? script.Parent.Font = 19 - Place that in each text label as a script.
