[SOLVED] Having Trouble Changing Font

#1 Post by ReadWriteThink » Tue Aug 02, 2016 4:23 am

I've been trying to figure out how to change the default font in my Ren'py game, to no avail. I've searched online and have done everything people are saying, but it's still not working. I downloaded a free to use font, copied it into the game folder and changed the font name in the options.py. I am certain it is the same name as the font file name and have uncommented it as well.

Code: Select all

  
    ## The file containing the default font.

    style.default.font = "IndieFlower"

    ## The default size of text.

    style.default.size = 36
However, it still says it can't find the font, even though it is right there in the game folder. Did I put the file in the wrong folder? Have I done something wrong? I've tried this with multiple fonts, even one somebody else has used in their Ren'py game, but none of them are working.

Possibly, you're missing the file extension e.g.

Code: Select all

    style.default.font = "IndieFlower.ttf"

  If we are what we repeatedly do, then good coding is not an act, but a habit

Thank you, I didn't even think of that. I should really stop trying to do things at 3am.
