Exception: could not find font [SOLVED]

[ghostlyfraggle]

I have tried to change the font of the game's text multiple times now. I have checked that the font name is spelled correctly, that it's in the game directory, used shift+D to make sure the game has the correct file path, checked other posts where people had the same issue, etc, to no avail. Here's the error I'm receiving:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 98, in _window_auto_callback
_window_show()
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 60, in _window_show

Exception: Could not find font u'EspressoDolche.ttf'.

And here's the only line of code I messed with in regards to font (in gui.rpy):

## The font used for in-game text.
define gui.text_font = "EspressoDolche.ttf"

Help?

[Scribbles]

is the font a .ttf and not something else like .otf? maybe that isn't the right part? otherwise I'm not sure :-/

[vollschauer]

Make sure it's in you "YouGame\game\" directory and make sure you type "EspressoDolce.ttf" and not "EspressoDolche.ttf"

[ghostlyfraggle]

is the font a .ttf and not something else like .otf? maybe that isn't the right part? otherwise I'm not sure :-/

It's definitely not an .otf, so that's not the issue here

[vollschauer]

The issue is your typo ....

What typo? I don't see a typo

Open Type fonts (.otf) are okay with Ren'Py.

[Donmai]

Have you tried typing espressodolce.ttf, as vollschauer suggested?

[Divona]

The issue is your typo ....

What typo? I don't see a typo

Is this the font you're trying to use?

Code: Select all

Exception: Could not find font u'EspressoDolche.ttf'.

[Imperf3kt]

The issue is an errant H in EspressoDolche
It should be EspressoDolce

yes they are! I've just had an error b/c I didn't specify correctly so I thought I'd mention it.
