What do you mean? What exactly is wrong with using Label::createWithBMFont?

[GamesStudioTwo]

No its working fine, just compile is saying it's Deprecated. I'm just asking because if there a future update, will it will be removed with something else or is the already renames to something else because I cannot see what's its changed too. but no problem using it at the moment. it's blazing fast I use neat trick and add my font to my sprite sheet and get it from that so its always cached and super fast.

If you check the header file, you will see that only one of them is deprecated, but the other overloads are not:

 *
 * @param bmfontPath A bitmap font file, it's a FNT format.

You no longer need to use this:

AX_DEPRECATED_ATTRIBUTE static Label* createWithBMFont(std::string_view bmfontPath,
                                                       std::string_view text,
                                                       const TextHAlignment& hAlignment,
                                                       int maxLineWidth,
                                                       const Vec2& imageOffset);

Because this was added a long time ago, back in Cocos2d-x:

static Label* createWithBMFont(std::string_view bmfontPath,
                               std::string_view text,
                               const TextHAlignment& hAlignment,
                               int maxLineWidth,
                               std::string_view subTextureKey);

The example of usage is in cpp-tests: LabelFNTMultiFontAtlasWithRotation::LabelFNTMultiFontAtlasWithRotation()

I Will change to new one, Yes I'm updating form long time old code to AXMOL and yes that was an exact problem I had with rotate when it was rotated in my sprit sheet looks like this will also fix my old nemesis also.
Thank you very very much for your help.

[GamesStudioTwo]

Fantastic work's a treat, Big thank you.
