[SOLVED] Issue with importing BMFonts

[inkacorn]

howdy, ive been having some issues with importing a custom fnt file into renpy.
looking through this document about registering bmfonts, i used the BMFonts tool linked to create my custom font which was exported as an .fnt file. however, renpy seems to have a problem whenever i try to implement my custom font.

at first, i tried to register the font as the document states

Code: Select all

init python:
    renpy.register_bmfont(name="myfont", size=256, bold=False, italics=False, underline=False, filename="gui/fonts/myfont.fnt")
    
label start:
	jade "This text is supposed to be {font=myfont}YELLOW{/font}!"

but this results in an error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 207, in script call
    call _gl_test
  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in script
    $ __gl_test()
  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in <module>
    $ __gl_test()
  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 317, in _m1_00gltest__gl_test
    _gl_performance_test()
  File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 342, in _gl_performance_test
    ui.interact(suppress_underlay=True, suppress_overlay=True)
OSError: Couldn't find file 'myfont_0.png'.

which is odd because 'myfont_0.png' is in the same folder

so then i find this forum post and tried to do what they did

Code: Select all

# init python:
    # renpy.register_bmfont(name="myfont", size=256, bold=False, italics=False, underline=False, filename="gui/fonts/myfont.fnt")
    # this has been commented out
label start:
	jade "This text is supposed to be {font=gui/fonts/myfont.fnt}YELLOW{/font}!"

which results in this error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/minigames.rpy", line 474, in script
    jade "This text is supposed to be {font=gui/fonts/myfont.fnt}YELLOW{/font}!"
FreetypeError: 2: b'unknown file format'

i looked up the error and this occurs when the file is corrupted. however, when running it through this file reader website to see if its readable, everything seems normal



here is a link to the fnt file in question (lemmasoft doesnt seem to support .fnt attachments): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bGX0RK ... sp=sharing

im not sure if im doing something wrong with the code or if the file is truly corrupted. any advice would be greatly appreciated!
thank you

You need to set the size that Ren'Py uses - just looking at this, you're setting it to 256, which Ren'Py is unlikely to use.
