font: different files for bold and italic

[riktik]

I've decided to use for my game a font ("animeace") that has three files:
animeace.ttf
animeace_b.ttf -> bold
animeace_i.ttf -> italic

I've put the three files in my game directory.
and, in my script, the command:
$ style.default.font = "animeace.ttf"

How I have to define the italic and bold files?

When I use {b} {i} it seems that ren'py doesn't use the other font files automatically.

thank you in advance

This is what config.font_replacement_map is for. So what you'd want to do is to add code like:

Code: Select all

init:
     $ config.font_replacement_map[('animeace.ttf', True, False)] = ('animeace_b.ttf', False, False)
     $ config.font_replacement_map[('animeace.ttf', False, True)] = ('animeace_i.ttf', False, False)

Hope this helps, and welcome!

Thank you PyTom,

I'm sorry if in the next week I'm going to post some silly questions, but I'm near to complete my game and I want to polish up my code.

Consider that english isn't my native language and I had some troubles to understand and consult the Reference Manual. Luckily the examples are very well commented and I could learn the basis of Ren'Py easily.

To be honest, the reference manual is hard to understand even for people who speak English as a first language.
