Hi,

I use a different font and currently have it in the game's font folder. It works fine with the following code:

Global newfont=LoadImageFont("Fonts/davesfont.ttf", 20)
SetImageFont(newfont)

The font has been declared OK for non-commercial use. Is there anyway of using incbin with the font rather than distributing the ttf file with the game?

I tried the following which didnt work:

incbin "Fonts/davesfont.ttf"
Global newfont=LoadImageFont("Fonts/davesfont.ttf", 20)

Thanks,

Dave.

I have just tested that and it didnt work. The first method works fine but incbin does not. Any ideas?

You can't incbin fonts directly...
