Changing default font

[Toams]

hey err.. a really quick one

i need to change the font halfway through my dialog.
now in main, i've stated:

    Font.default_name = $fontface = $defaultfonttype = "Fixedsys Excelsior 2.00"

    Font.default_size = $fontsize = $defaultfontsize = 30

is it possible to use a script call to change it to another font?
 
i've tried

    Font.default_name = "Tahoma"

and

    $fontface = "Tahoma"

but it doesnt work

please help?
(i'll give you a cookie)

Tons of Addons
can change the font during game play, using
$game_system.fontname = "FONTNAME"
$game_system.fontsize = FONTSIZE
You should be able to extract just this part from it.

i found the section, its:

# Ultimate Font Override by Blizzard

# Version: 1.02b

# Type: Project-Script Compatibility Improvement

# Date: 19.10.2006

# Date v1.01b: 30.7.2007

# Date v1.02b: 15.11.2008

#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=

# 

#   You can change the font/fontsize with the "Call script" event command or

#   directly through a script by using these methods:

# 

#     $game_system.fontname = "FONTNAME"

#     $game_system.fontsize = FONTSIZE

# 

#   It will override the font from any RMXP version. It is also possible to

#   change the font during the game. It will be saved, too.

      end

    end

  end

 

i pasted that above main, in a seperate script thingy,
and i did a script call using

$game_system.fontname = "Tahoma"

$game_system.fontsize = 24521

but it didnt work :<

what am i doing wrong?

I'm not sure. I shrinked the code to this, and it works for me:
[rgss]Font.default_name = 'Fixedsys Excelsior 2.00'             # default font name
Font.default_size = 30                        # default font size    
 
class Game_System
  attr_reader :fontname
  attr_reader :fontsize
  alias init_game_system_later initialize
  def initialize
    init_game_system_later
    self.fontname = Font.default_name
    self.fontsize = Font.default_size
  end
 
  def fontname=(name)
    Font.default_name = $defaultfonttype = $fontface = @fontname = name
  end
   
  def fontsize=(size)
    Font.default_size = $defaultfontsize = $fontsize = @fontsize = size
  end
 
end

well it works in a way that the default font is changed to the fixedsys one
but i already knew how to do that..
now i need to change it to whatever, tahoma or something, midway through an event
and it still doesnt work :<

maybe its another script that fuqs it up, lemme test that for a bit......
