# Version 3.87 - Aoi - in dev

## New Features

* `FontFile` is a new File Type loader that allows you to load TTF/OTF fonts directly into Phaser, without the need for a 3rd party web font loader or CSS hacks. The loaded fonts can be used in the Text Game Objects, such as the example below:

```js
preload ()
{
    this.load.font('Caroni', 'assets/fonts/ttf/caroni.otf', 'opentype');
    this.load.font('troika', 'assets/fonts/ttf/troika.otf', 'opentype');
}

create ()
{
    this.add.text(32, 32, 'The face of the moon was in shadow.', { fontFamily: 'troika', fontSize: 80, color: '#ff0000' });
    this.add.text(150, 350, 'Waves flung themselves at the blue evening.', { fontFamily: 'Caroni', fontSize: 64, color: '#5656ee' });
}
```

## Updates

* The Particle Animation State is now optional. A Particle will not create an Animation State controller unless the `anim` property exists within the emitter configuration. By not creating the controller it leads to less memory overhead and a much faster clean-up time when destroying particles. Fix #6482 (thanks @samme)

## Bug Fixes

* Fixed the calculation of the index in `GetBitmapTextSize` that would lead to incorrect indexes vs. the docs and previous releases (thanks @bagyoni)
* `Utils.String.RemoveAt` would incorrectly calculate the slice index if it was > 0. It will now remove the correctly specified character.
