I was always conntent with using white text in bge until now. You cant see the letters against the back ground that I have!
The simple question here is, can I have a different colored text?

What sort of text are you using? Is it the uv-mapped-to-a-plane text that’s controlled by a property, or is it something else?

thank you, Hunter. That really helps.

But I still need to know how to change it without GLSL, because everything else is set up with multitexture materials.

You can vertex paint your text object. So you do not need a separate font texture.

I hope it helps
