XP text script request. Changing text.

[GanonLives]

Hello all.  Currently using RPG Maker XP and I have been searching for something like this however, I have been unsuccessful at finding it anywhere on the site.  I will do my best to explain what I need and if more information is needed PLEASe let me know so that I can add more.

I am creating a game where there is a second languange.  I want to be able to show a different font for a particular character other then the english font.  For example.  Character A shows his words in the standard character font while character B's text when speaking/writiing is in Japanese/chinese/Hylian... not a snndard font that is on everyone's pc. I want to be able to display this throughout the game when incountering these particular NPCs. 

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance and again if I need more information then please let me know and I will do my best to answer. :smile:

With CCOA's UMS Script you can do it.

Although this is such a wonderful script this is not exackly what I am requesting.  I want to be able to change the font itself.  Here is an example but I want to be able to use my own font and not what's standard in the program itself:

Character 1:
Text:  So you study what style of karate

Character 2:
text: 写真å

Whit UMS you *can change fonts*
You can even use two (or more) diferent fonts on the same message.

But remember that the font must be installed on the player's PC or he won't be able to see it.

I believe you I just didn't see it in the demo I found of it however this is the problem because the font that I want to use is not a standard font that is on everyone's pc and I am suter there is a way to add a special font to the program however I am not a scripter.  If anyone else has any suggestions as to how I can achieve this it would be greatly appreciated. :blush:

You must create a new folder named "Fonts" on the folder of your projetc.
then you must edit the lines 11 and 15 to add the names of fonts.
