Customize Hints - on lens start

Is it possible to customize the typeface and style of the hints that show up using the ShowHint script? This script is found in some of the tutorial projects. For clarification, I'm talking about the text that shows up when a lens is first loaded, typically is says "Tap the surface!" or "Open your mouth". The text is normally white, and on top of everything.

Let me know if anyone has seen it customized, maybe with custom scripting this is possible?

Best,

- George

    Hi Stephen,

    Here's an example project using a Label Billboard object with a custom font. The added label uses the Tween system to fade it out after three seconds (using the delay field).

    Hi, I was wondering if you could provide the name of the font that is used for the default hints. Its hard to emulate a hint without the correct font.
