How to make a font glow?

[lbcheche]

Hello everyone,

I need to develop a game asset that makes a letter or a text glow using some random font.
Is there any built-in feature or a library that could make a font glow?

Thanks

The easiest way to achieve this effect would probably be with shaders.
When drawing text, I would first draw the text with a blur or glow shader, and then draw the text normally on top of that.

Moonshine is a helpful library of shaders, and it includes some glow and blur effects.
Here's the link: https://github.com/vrld/moonshine

Hope that helps!

Hello, groverburger.

Worked perfectly with "boxblur" effect, just like you suggested.
And it was awesome with "godsray".

Thanks again!!!

I'd love to see a screenie of this effect for science.
