What font does Blitz3D use print text to the screen?


Picklesworth(Posted 2005) [#2]
Verdana, I think.
You can change it with LoadFont and SetFont.


asdfasdf(Posted 2005) [#3]
Hmmmm it doesn't seem to match. I'm trying to reset the text after using a larger font.


big10p(Posted 2005) [#4]
I think Blitz3D's default font must be embedded in the exe. The only way I know of getting blitz to go back to using it is to FreeFont the currently set font. Think that should do it.


asdfasdf(Posted 2005) [#5]
OK that works.
Thanks

It definetly looks like a fixed spaced font.


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#7]
It looks similar to a font i have called @SimSun


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#8]
Ok, it's definetly Courier New, point size 12 :o)

Print "HELLO!."
Print "hello.!"

font = LoadFont("courier",12)
SetFont font

Print "HELLO!."
Print "hello.!"

WaitKey()

Courier's a good one to use, if you need a fixed-width font.


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#10]
It's the same one as blitz. Must be the one it uses :o) Man... i'm bored...


big10p(Posted 2005) [#11]
Hmmm, wonder what happens on systems without courier installed. Not very likely, I know, but...

It's the same one as blitz. Must be the one it uses :o) Man... i'm bored...
lol. Same 'ere! :P

Blitz3D's font file is in the Blitz3D directory, search the folder for 'Blitz' and the font is bound to come up.

blitz.fon is the IDE font, not the default font used when printing text.

Ancient post, new update:
This is close enough:
DefaultFont=LoadFont("Blitz",12,False,False,False)
It probably IS the IDE font ALSO in bold or slightly larger point size.
It looked only slightly darker, but almost pixel perfect.
I liked it better anyway!
Don't use courier.

Seriously, you dug up an eight year old thread just for that? o_O


Guy Fawkes(Posted 2014) [#17]
Seriously, GfK? You have to whine about pulling up an old thread just because someone was thoughtful enough to help people maybe still looking to learn this stuff? -.-

Unbelievable.


GfK(Posted 2014) [#18]
If they're still looking after eight years, they really should give it up.


Guy Fawkes(Posted 2014) [#19]
No, they should not. Don't be telling people what to do. They can learn WHAT they want, WHEN they want, WHERE they want, and HOW they want. This conversation is over. I don't feed the sheep anymore. Sheep, sheepety, sheep. -.-

You've been promoted to mod and are able to make pronouncements on site policy and acceptable forum etiquette?

Congratulations! Although I must say you're making a radical change to the previously accepted guidelines. Be sure to announce your new policies across all the boards so everybody knows!

I'm very sorry but I will not be typed at in capital letters. Please try to control your anger a little better, otherwise I don't see how we can be friends any more.


Guy Fawkes(Posted 2014) [#22]
We were never friends to begin with. Alls you did / do, was pick on me. I'm done typing to all of you who pick on innocent board members. This topic shall no longer be posted on by me.


GfK(Posted 2014) [#23]

Nonsense. The world is my friend.


RemiD(Posted 2014) [#24]
How do you say "tête à claques" in english ?
This may be useful.


John Blackledge(Posted 2014) [#25]
I think that translates as 'headbangers'.


RemiD(Posted 2014) [#26]
I don't think this is what i want to say.
I want to say "an head who has many reasons to be slapped, and therefore can be slapped without regrets."
Whatever, this is a missed joke, forget about it.


Mikorians(Posted 2014) [#27]
Being new to b3d, I had to find the answer.
Sorry if I stirred up a hornets nest.
Seems to follow me around...


RemiD(Posted 2014) [#28]
Mikorians>>I am not talking about you. Guess WHO ?


Mikorians(Posted 2014) [#29]
He he! ;)
