TMP text is being revealed incorrectly with Custom Printer

Hi there.

We’re using the font called “Mclaren” from google fonts, we’ve also customized it a bit to add a black border and a drop shadow with TMP.

When the text is being revealed and there are two lines of text, certain characters seem to be too big and appear outside the revealing mask.

How it looks while printing text:

How it looks after print is finished:

You can see that the “p” in the word “ship” is the one appearing outside the mask in the previous image.

The “y” here is being cut off by the mask:

There are other cases where characters are being cut off vertically, like the asterisk here:

We’ve tried to find solutions by messing around with the printer settings, but no luck yet.

Is there any way to customize the way the text is revealed? Like the size or shape of the mask for example?

Hi, Try tuning Clip Rect Scale property found on the revealable text component (available in v1.16).

Hey there Elringus, sorry I took a while to get back to you.

Will try fiddling with the Clip Rect Scale tomorrow and keep you posted.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.
