I am wondering how people currently implement Gradient/Outlined fonts in SpriteKit or if not is there any way to do this.

I seen this question:

But there were no real answers for outlining.

I noticed for UILabel there was:

Which seemed to be exactly what I want but I'm not sure on how to move that sort of thing over to a SKLabelNode.

Thanks in advance to your help.

EDIT: I'm thinking this might be possible with a texture atlas like in CCLabelAtlas anyone know if SpriteKit supports these (I'm guessing not).

for that you can use bitmap fonts created by: http://71squared.com/en/glyphdesigner – CodeSmile May 30 '14 at 11:06
@LearnCocos2d Hmmm so with that tool I could load a font at an outline / gradient then save this down to a bitmap font ? – Dave3of5 May 30 '14 at 12:36

You can design a bitmap font with outlines, shadows, gradients within the tool, based on a truetype font of your choice. – CodeSmile May 30 '14 at 13:17
@LearnCocos2D Sounds good you want to add this as an answer ? – Dave3of5 May 30 '14 at 14:35
