Anyone have any joy using fonts on a Mac? This is based on some sample code that SkidRacer posted in another thread that I found in my searching. It doesn't yield the impact font...Graphics 640,480,0 SetBlend ALPHABLEND myfont=LoadImageFont("Impact",24) SetImageFont myfont DrawText "Hello World",0,0 Flip WaitMouse Anyone have success in using the built in font stuff? |

I don't know if it the same for the Mac as it is for Windows and Linux, but you need to have the font in the same folder as your program file |

According to some other posts I read, they said that the FreeType library BRL is using will look in the standard OS locations for fonts. Is that not the case? I really don't want to distribute fonts with my application if I can avoid it... |

I said it was planned. At the moment you have to supply a path to a font file not a font name. |

Ahh OK .. yeah, that seems to work. Thanks! |
| ||
Remember to supply paths for each os ;] |

I'm probably going to abandon it for now, actually. It seems a little hokey. I'll wait until they flush it out and finalize things... |
