  You're confusing the Facebook API with Instant Games. They're different.

  It's hard to make sense of the screenshots. But I would guess it's a bug along the lines of "shadows are meant to be infinitely long but aren't" that was fixed in C3.

  It looks like you're using a SpriteFont, in which case it can only render characters that you've drawn an image for.

  Load it back in to Binary Data and then load the sprite image from the BinaryData.GetURL expression. This is more efficient since it keeps it in binary all along and never converts it to base64.

  Convert it to a sequence of PNGs.

  I'd contact Microsoft about this, we don't develop the pubCenter service.

  The desktop build still uses zips for NW.js exports, because extracting the files on a Windows machine breaks Mac and Linux exports, because Windows doesn't understand the special file permissions needed for executable apps on those systems. The zip file is configured to set the right permissions so it works if you extract it on the target system. See the tutorial Exporting desktop apps with NW.js.

  That doesn't apply to any of the other exporters, which let you export to a folder in a desktop build.

  I tried, but it's not clear exactly what to do. See The best way to get help - tips for this forum

  So the only way to do this now is to paste the image onto Drawing Canvas, save image, request image url with AJAX, feed AJAX response to Binary Data object, then save data as BASE64 string in Local Storage.

  It's actually easier than that in the latest C3 releases:

  1. Load the snapshot URL to Binary Data using AJAX
  2. Save the Binary Data using Local Storage

  No need for canvas or base64 encoding.
