Allowing Player to Select Alternate In-Game Font

[Mitch]

Hiya folks,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to allow the player to go into their Preferences and click a button to change the default font used in the game to another font in the game folder? I'm looking into Screen Actions, and I tried making a frame like the one following, based on similar menus:

Code: Select all

            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox
                
                label _("Change Font")
                textbutton _("Change Font") action SetVariable(style.default.font, "PERBI___.ttf")

But I got the following error message (the attribute/file mentioned is the default font I've specified in options.rpy, which exists in the game folder, is named correctly, and works fine if the above line of code is removed).

Does anyone know how to make the above button work, or, failing that, have another way of allowing the player to choose to use a different font via the Preferences screen?

Thank you! The only thing is that when you add the code, the default font doesn't change everything all at once, just the font in the texbutton, then the font of any other textbutton you happen to hover over. If you click it a couple times, the fonts on the labels change over too, but it's very clunky. Do you (or anyone else) know if there's a way around that, or why it might be happening that way for me?

Code: Select all

            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox
                
                label _("Change Font")
                
                textbutton _("Regular") action StylePreference("font", "Regular")
                textbutton _("Bold") action StylePreference("font", "Bold")
...

init -2 python:
    renpy.register_style_preference("font", "Bold", style.default, "font", "PERBI___.ttf")
    renpy.register_style_preference("font", "Regular", style.default, "font", "PERI____.ttf")
