Changing Default Font Problem: Can't locate font file-SOLVED

[ninjakaami]

I went into the options file for my game and changed the font, but now I keep getting traceback messages saying it can't be found, like so:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Could not find font 'DIOGENES.ttf'.

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 6.99.10.1227
Labors of Heracles 0.0

I'm almost certain that the reason for this is because I'm not putting the file in the right place for the game to find it and load it. I've tried putting my .ttf file in multiple places (It's currently sitting in C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\Ren'Py\renpy-6.99.10-sdk\Labors of Heracles\game), but I've had no luck figuring this out on my own. ^^"

I have absolutely no experience with coding in Ren'py and I'm trying to self-teach, so this fix may honestly be fairly obvious; I just can't figure it out for the life of me. Any help you can offer a newb would be very much appreciated.

You can hit shift+D, and generate a file dump. That will tell you the filename Ren'Py sees.

Alright, I got it working! Thank you for your help. =3
