[Solved]How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
Okay so I'll admit i didn't look around too much to see if this has already been asked or answered, so sorry if this is a repeat question.
So i'm trying to replace the dejavusans text because it doesn't fit with my game. I've looked on the website as to how to do this but I keep getting an error when I tried. I've changed how I write the font many times in hopes of just accidentally finding the issue but I can't seem to find it. The font is in the common folder too. (I thought that was my issue) It's probably a simple fix and i'm being stupid but I'd really appreciate the help. Here is the Traceback and everything in case that is needed.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
The font file should be in the Game folder, place it there and then search in gui.rpy for "fonts and font sizes" (around line 58) and then change the font for the text you want
For example, if you want to change the font used for characters' names you should change to
if you have your fonts in a subfolder then you should add the route, for example:
if the Font file is in "game/fonts" then you should set it like:
For example, if you want to change the font used for characters' names you should change to
Code: Select all
define gui.name_text_font = "CoolFont.ttf"
if the Font file is in "game/fonts" then you should set it like:
Code: Select all
define gui.name_text_font = "fonts/CoolFont.ttf"

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
Okay I moved the font file into my game folder but I still get errors. Could I be placing it in the wrong game folder? there is one in "gui" and "launcher".
I've tried doing it in both ways you suggested both gave me the similar error.

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
Are you positive you're putting it in your game's game folder? Like, you're going to the folder that has your game's name, clicking on it, and then pasting the font file to the only folder in there called "game"? Because judging by the error, you don't seem to be putting it there.PoisionLullaby wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:23 am Okay I moved the font file into my game folder but I still get errors.

Also, are you sure you're spelling the name of the font file correctly?
Also, for what it's worth, is your version of Ren'Py up to date?

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
Ah no I misunderstood what "game" folder meant.
And I think so? I tried it with other fonts in case that was the issue before and got the same error now that I put the font in the right folder the font I wanted won't work but the other two I tested do. The only difference I can see in one that gives me an error is that it's an "OpenType font file" and the others are "TrueType font file". I thought Ren'py could use both? Or is it just the particular font i'm trying to use and just not all work?
Also I double checked my version is up to date.

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
Your first reply says your font file is the unsupported macOS font extension .ttc
Your next reply says the file is .ttf
Renpy only supports (properly exported) truetypefont (.ttf) and opentypefont (.otf)
Are you positive the file is a .ttf?
For example, renaming 'myfont.ttc' to 'myfont.ttf' won't make it compatible, the file is still a .ttc except instead of 'myfont (.ttc)', it is now called 'myfont.ttf (.ttc)'

That was the issue! Thank you all so much for the help. The smallest wrong detail can mess everything up.

Re: How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
I recently was trying to solve some font related issues while translating to Chinese and I came across this thread in the process, in case someone finds themselves wondering if ttc being unsupported is part of their problem, I can now confirm that I have a Chinese .ttc font working in the game I am working on. Also, a couple of places mention support for ttc:

Re: [Solved]How do I change fonts for my dialogue?
TTC works just fine. I found that out after posting previously.
What you have to do is tell renpy which font number to use from the collection.
For example,
What you have to do is tell renpy which font number to use from the collection.
For example,
Code: Select all
0@myfont.ttc
