how i should change fonts in ren py? in renpy's documentaion it says that i should place font IN A GAME DIRECTORY. what does it mean? where exactly is a folder i should put my font file in??? like, i know that i should write or rewrite something in gui.rpy, and put my font IN A GAME DIRECTORY (sory for bad english)

Pretty easy.
1. First you need the file of the font (.ttf, .otf...) Be aware that fonts can have also copyrights, so be sure before using them. There are a lot of fonts for example here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/

2. Put the file in the game directory or in a subdirectory of your project. (I usually put them in the "gui" subdirectory)

3. Go to gui.rpy. There are three variables that control the fonts. They are by default set to "DejaVuSans.ttf".

Code: Select all

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

## The font used for character names.
define gui.name_text_font = "DejaVuSans.ttf"

## The font used for out-of-game text.
define gui.interface_text_font = "DejaVuSans.ttf"

Change that lines with the name of the file (not the name of the font but the name of the file). Put also the path. For example, if I put the file "comic.ttf" in the gui directory, the code should be:

Code: Select all

define gui.text_font = "gui/comic.ttf"

Ask if it's not clear (English is not my language, either).
