Default font for rpgmaker xp/Vx

[Clad]

Hi, as the title suggest, I would like to know what is the default font Rpgmaker XP/VX is using. In Rpgmaker 2000/2003, the program automatically installs a font like RM2000.fon... and does the XP/VX version also installs one-if so which one?

Thanks!

the XP help doc says, "MS PGothic"

But if you put the command

print Font.default_name

in the Scene_Title script, it prints out...

Arial


The VX docs says, "The default is ["Verdana", "Arial", "Courier New"]. "

meaning if it doesn't find Verdana, it uses Arial, else it uses Courier New

thanks for the reply...well i tried to deleted the mentionned fonts on my Fonts folder and tested them with rpgmaker xp. Thing is that Rpgmaker XP uses the arial font by default and switches to Courier directly. It means that it does not install any additional font unlike the 2k/2k3 versions. My question is that is it legal for rpgmaker xp to use this font by defaut? It seems that Arial is copyrighted to the Ascender Corporation.

You hold the license to use the font with your MS Windows installation.
Enterbrain does not distribute the font with the software. So, yes it's legal.

Speaking of fonts, how would one go about adding a font to RMXP or VX? There's a particular font I would like to use in my current project but I'm not sure how to add the font.

Wachunga made an auto-font installer script. Try searching for it.

I'll give a hint. It's on the last or second-to-last page of the script archive. (Depends on how many new scripts were submitted since last time I checked) Anyway, that isn't the whole story. You also need to used some code to change the default font. I bnelieve it is something like Font.default_name = ["font1", "font2", "font3"] It will look for font1, and, if it doesn't find it, it will use font2, and continues like that.
