Weird behavior with guiCreateLabel

[derailed]

Hi. I'm new to MTA scripting community.  I created a login screen with two edit boxes and a label on top to create a custom input fields. Now, when I type in the letters, the black vertical line stays behind as I insert text. Thank you for your help in advance on how to fix this issue.

 

 

Code:

loginLabels = { };
  
function updateLabels( )
    guiSetText( loginLabels[ source ], guiGetText( source ) );
end 

local loginBackground = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, guiGetScreenSize(), guiGetScreenSize(), loginSettings[0], false)

local loginWindow = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, guiGetScreenSize(), guiGetScreenSize(), loginSettings[1], false, loginBackground)	 

loginUser = guiCreateEdit( 0.292, 0.411, 0.155, 0.03, " ", true, loginWindow )
guiSetAlpha ( loginUser, 0 ) 
loginLabels[loginUser] = guiCreateLabel( 0.298, 0.418, 0.155, 0.03,"",true, loginWindow)
guiMoveToBack( loginLabels[loginUser] );
local loginFont = guiCreateFont(loginSettings[4], 14)
guiSetFont ( loginLabels[loginUser], loginFont )
guiLabelSetColor ( loginLabels[loginUser], 0, 0, 0)
guiBringToFront( loginUser )

loginPassword = guiCreateEdit( 0.292, 0.477, 0.155, 0.03, " ", true, loginWindow )
guiSetAlpha ( loginPassword, 0 ) 
loginLabels[loginPassword] = guiCreateLabel( 0.298, 0.483, 0.155, 0.03,"",true, loginWindow)
guiMoveToBack( loginLabels[loginPassword] );
guiSetFont ( loginLabels[loginPassword], loginFont )
guiLabelSetColor ( loginLabels[loginPassword], 0, 0, 0)
guiBringToFront( loginPassword )
guiBringToFront( loginUser )

addEventHandler( "onClientGUIChanged", loginUser, updateLabels, false );
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIChanged", loginPassword, updateLabels, false );

I think the problem is that the font size used by the actual input boxes (that you have hidden) is smaller than that of the labels used to show the input. So the text width doesn't match.

Can one possibly set custom font on the text input as well?

Well, guiSetFont works for any GUI element, it's not limited to labels, so you can try that. But I really don't know if it will work.
