begin
  $fonttype = "Tahoma"
  $fontsize = 20
  # Prepare for transition
  Graphics.freeze
  # Make scene object (title screen)
  $scene = Scene_Title.new
  # Call main method as long as $scene is effective
  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end
  # Fade out
  Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  # Supplement Errno::ENOENT exception
  # If unable to open file, display message and end
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")
end

That is my main script. When i change the font from there or even make it blank it always show the same font i'm using the ums by ccoa too.Do i need to put the font there instead of main?

  $fonttype = "Tahoma"
  $fontsize = 20

don't use globals for fonts, it only works in japanese or illegal versions, use this code:

Font.default_name = 'Tahoma'
Font.default_size = 20

Yes thanks that solved my problem.

I was searching for changing the font and on one of the demos i had from members it had it for a year or more had that in main.

Can you tell me were i can find all font's i can use?

I don't like the default one

you can use pretty much any font you have installed on your computer.
C:/Windows/fonts is usually the loacation of all of your installed fonts. You can always trawl the net and find other fonts which you like and install them for use too.

If you're gonna release a demo/game with a custom font, make sure you include it in the demo/game archive though as the player of your demo/game may not have that font installed.

Yes ok thanks this can be closed now.

what is the name of the default font in rmxp

 

[Reaper*]

Don't know sorry i think tahoma

 

[Diedrupo]

Arial is the default I believe

 

[Yeyinde]

Diedrupo is correct, although the help file says the default is 'MS PGothic'. MS PGothic is a Japanese font, so you could expect that such of translation error to be there.
