... or is it just me not doing things the right way???
well, that's very simple, here is the code:

fpsFont = LoadImageFont("Pictures\Gargoyles N",18)
SetImageFont(fpsFont)

where Gargoyles N is a TrueType font my OS X is able to read... but I still get the default font when writing text with DrawText... don't know why..

(I know basically I should put this post in the OS X forum but I already did and received no answer...)

are you sure that "Gargoyles N" has no extenstion because in windows the font files dont show the extenstion but it is .ttf


KamaShin(Posted 2005) [#3]
yep... I ve made sure of that... some of my fonts do have the .ttf extension, others don't, but they're all ttf... besides, I've tested them all, and it doesn't work :(((

well, if you have tested a .ttf font that works for you, could you send it to me so that I can test it? my mail:
kamashin@...
(you can compress it with whatever you want, .zip, .rar, .sit...)
