Seperate Fonts Per Character

[Kestrel]

Is there any way to get a character to speak in a font different than the others? For example, if you had a character that spoke an "unknown language" and their dialogue appeared as wingdings?

If all you're aiming for is having a character speak in dingbats, most of them were incorporated into unicode and therefore are likely to appear in the default font Ren'Py uses (Vera Sans).

One annoying bit is that they appear as high characters, rather than just being different shapes for the ascii characters. So you have to use the unicode escapes (like \u26a3) to get at them.

To answer your question, you can give characters their own font when you define them:

Code: Select all

$ a = Character("Adam", font="myfont.tff")

So, I also want to have a character that speaks in a different font, only when I did that thing you just said, it made their name have a different font, not their speech.

Intriguing! I rarely use that function.

Use "what_font" instead of "font" and it should work.
