Who_font appearing as blurry [SOLVED]

#1 Post by sasquatchii »

Hi! I've been working on tweaking the GUI of my game, and I wanted to change the size of the character's names in the dialogue box. But when I try to do this, the font I'm using looks super blurry.

Here is the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

define c = Character('Casey', 
                        color="#fcdee3", 
                        window_background="images/gui/textbox.png",
                        window_yminimum=363,
                        who_font="Cylburn.otf"
                        who_size=80)
And I'm attaching a screenshot of what the text looks like. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated!

Maybe try setting who_bold=False. The auto-bold code is kind of a hack, you really want to use a proper bold font instead.

This worked beautifully! I had no idea Ren'Py used an auto-bold for the who font, and was so confused. Thanks for the advice :)
