[SOLVED]Customizing vbox/hbox font...

[UselessCoder]

Ok, now this is so embarassing because I know it's a stupid question about an overly discussed issue, but still...

How do I change the font of a specific hbox/vbox:

Code: Select all

    hbox:
        spacing 10 xpos 1170 ypos 20        
        text "{color=#FFFFFF}{size=-3} Cr. [money]{/size}{/color}"

As of now, it of course takes the "default" font as specified in options.rpy.
I've tried to define a new "vbox_style"...style: nothing.
I've tried to style.say_vbox.font="font.ttf" but nothing: it says there is no say_vbox.
I've red the docs but either I've missed out something or I've tried customizations that had no effect at all.

Please point me in the right direction...

Thanks trooper... :facepalm:

The only thing is, it only works if I put the font into the main game folder, as it doesn't accept it in the format:

Code: Select all

font="fonts/blabla.ttf"

I know I'm approaching to this as if it was html, sorry...

Use style_group
You can't define the font of the boxes because the boxes are only containers, they dont have the font property.
With style_group you can define the font (and size, color, etc.) of the text elements contained inside a box.

If you have only one text element inside the box, dont need the style, apply the properties directly:

Code: Select all

text "bla bla" size 14 color "#f00" font "myfont.ttf"

Yes that's what I meant and what I needed, sorry for not being more specific.

This works:

Code: Select all

    hbox: 
        spacing 10 xpos 940 ypos 73
        text "{font=font.ttf}{color=#FFFFFF}{size=-6} bla font {/size}{/color}{/font}"

...while this is not:

Code: Select all

    hbox: 
        spacing 10 xpos 940 ypos 73
        text "{font="fonts/font.ttf"}{color=#FFFFFF}{size=-6} bla font {/size}{/color}{/font}"

Chances are that I'm gonna use style_group, tho. There is more than one text line and I'd better apply some style at once...

Delete the quotes:
{font=fonts/myfont.ttf}

Delete the quotes:
{font=fonts/myfont.ttf}

Omg, I thought I've tried that already!

it worked, thanks!
