Characters' names don't appear after changing default font

[chiBuchiPace]

Hello, I'm new here and I have a problem when I changed the default font in Options.rpy. The menu and everything else turned out fine except for the characters' names that do not appear. I use MSMINCHO.TTF. I would really appreciate your help! TT-TT

It looks like that... There are four different characters and their names changed to dots, lines and spaces.

If you want to change only the font of the Character names, add this bit of code right under your Text code in options.rpy:

Code: Select all

style say_label:
    font "MSMINCHO.TTF"    
    # bold False #Sometimes a font looks like crap when it's bold. Take off the # to make it NOT bold. 
    outlines [(1, "#330000", 0, 0)] 

    ## Adds a shadow one pixel to the right and one pixel down
    drop_shadow [(2, 2)] 
    drop_shadow_color "#333333"

If you Don't want the outlines or drop shadows on your Names, just add a # in front of the line.

It says "Parsing the script failed. File "game/options.rpy", line 149: invalid syntax style say_label -> :" (there's a little red arrow)
But it seems to me that character names really don't appear when I use MSMINCHO, I tried changing font to another and the character names appeared.

Put this code at the very beginning of the script in options.rpy or at the very bottom of it to be sure that it wouldn't be inside of init python block (where all the usual stuff is).
