Ren'Py Can't find my Japanese font

[kikima34]

So I have tried like 50 different things to fix this problem, but nothing has worked so far. I have tried three different fonts, I know that the font file is in the Game folder, I tried putting my code in different places in my game but it just won't work. What am I doing wrong?

The code for my font is currently before the first label in script.rpy:

# The Japanese font that I use
init:
$ style.default.font = "meiryo.ttf"
$ style.default.language = "eastasian"



Also, I want the game to be able to support English and Japanese for several characters. Maybe that's what is messing it up?



Here is the traceback:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Could not find font 'meiryo.ttf'.

Can you hit shift+D, create a files list, and post it? That should work if the font is in the game directory.

Well that solved the problem... It was a .ttc file and not a ttf file! Even though windows definitely said otherwise. Problem solved. Thank you!
