Load a custom font?

[mtx]

Is there a way to load a ttf or otf for a layout that's not installed in the OS (Windows, OS X, 'nix)?

[keilmillerjr]

Yes. Refer to the docs. It will load the font from your layouts root directory, or any path you provide.

Hmmm. I really can't find anything about loading fonts here https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/v2.1.0/Layouts.md or here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Introduction-to-Squirrel-Programming

Hi mtx,

You don't need to "load" the font, just place it in your layout folder, then you can change the layout font according to your font name using fe.layout.font = "YourFont".

Thanks for clearing that up, ptiwee!

Magic tokens might now work there.

[l0ck0]

no is for magic token. if put

Code: [Select]

local text = AAE;
listbox.font=AAE; no work eiter

[keilmillerjr]

Code: [Select]

local text = AAE;
listbox.font=AAE; no work eiter

Have you declared the AAE variable? Or is text a string and you forgot your quotes?

perdon, no se explicarme en ingles...

tengo una carpeta llamada fuentes donde tengo la fuente AAE.otf

si pongo los codigos

Code: [Select]

listado.font="fuentes/" + "[Emulator]" + ".otf";
listado.font="fuentes/" + "[Emulator]";
listado.font="fuentes/AAE.otf";
listado.font="fuentes/AAE";

local fuente= fe.add_text("fuentes/"+"[Emulator]",0,0,0,0);
listado.font=fuente;
y no se cuantas conbinaciones mas que he intentado esta tarde no he conseguido que me coja la fuente de ninguna forma

si hay espacios o codigo mal puesto puede ser cosa del traductor de google que hace lo que le da la gana. he intentado corregirlo pero igual se me ha colado alguno

---------------------------------


Sorry, I will not explain myself in English ...

I have a folder called fonts where I have the source AAE.otf

If I put the codes

Code: [Select]

listado.font = "fuentes/" + "[Emulator]" + ".otf";
listado.font = "fuentes/" + "[Emulator]";
listado.font = "fuentes/AAE.otf";
listado.font = "fuentes/AAE";

Local fuente= fe.add_text ("fuentes/" + "[Emulator]", 0,0,0,0);
listado.font = fuente;
And I do not know how many more combinations I've tried this afternoon I have not managed to get the source in any way

If there are spaces or poorly placed code may be thing of the google translator that does what he wants. I tried to correct it but the same one has sneaked to me
