Changing fonts

[sonictoad]

So, I'm trying to change the fonts used in the dialog boxes among other things. I've seen screenshots of all these games that use bespoke fonts or other things that clearly aren't default GUI elements, but in defining a new font to use in the games, what happens if players don't have that font installed? Does it just automatically work once the final build is executed or do I have to include TTF files in the game directory?

You have to include the fonts in the game directory, right. Otherwise it won't work, final build or not.

It works!! Yay, my game is looking prettier now!

Now to get this godforsaken GUI box to change without tearing my hair out....
