Hi I am being asked to produce a graphic (which will change on a regular basic) where the name of a player has different font styles between their first and last name - like the picture below.  Screenshot 2025-10-27 184953.png (90kb) downloaded 15 time(s).Given the length of first name will change, I thought of have a link for the surname to the first name, and then offsetting it, but it always seems to link to the link to the left hand side of the first name, which is static. I have tried adding in shrink and also widthANDheight, but nothing seems to work Is this even possible? I know i will need to have each player first name & surname separate, but will run that from excel, and link that way. At the moment, the only way i can see doing this is by having the first names in its own text box, then have surname in its own text box, and changing the X co-ordinate (left/right) manually within GT Titler, which will be a pain, and if we dont get teams will late, probably not able to be done Lee

If using a different font for each, one can use a script so the first name for the bottom text is replaced by spaces or add the amount equal the firsname's length (using a invisible initial textholder to convert what you retrieve from the datasource as such creating a space with the length of the first name +1(or let excel do that) Or look up how to combine texts within XAML titling https://forums.vmix.com/...Two-types-of-text-format
