I Need Help With Font.

[madradubhcroga]

Hello.

I need help importing a font. I've been up and down the Boards, the FAQs, the Streets, rambling to myself in the rain. I am a noob, but it's been 3 days now. Has anybody every managed to import a font on RPG Maker XP?

Here's as far as I've gotten. I've placed this in the script Main:

Font.default_name = "Celtic"
Font.default_size = 22

and placed it before $scene = Scene_Title.new

When I test, I get blank spaces, which makes me think RMXP can't find the font.
If it comes to it, I'll get by without using the delicious celtic font I want- but is there a list somewhere of the fonts RMXP can recognise?

Any help appreciated.

The font name must be exact. Try opening MS Word (or any other program that allows you to select fonts) and copy the font name from the selection dialog or drop-down box.

Note that it still may not work and/or you may have had the right name all along. Some fonts just don't work.

Try using more standard fonts (e.g. Arial, Verdana, Courier) to make sure the script is right. If those fonts display correctly and you've followed the steps above to copy/paste your font, you likely just have a font RMXP won't work with. Try another.

Sorry I can't answer your last question; I don't really know enough about fonts or RMXP to know if there is a specific type of font that the program can't use. I've never seen an actual list, though.

Are you using the legal version of RMXP?
