Text in a Panel

[d.healey]

this.getWidth isn't a function, try this.getWidth()

@d-healey Thanks so much David!!
How can I in this case change the font? is the "setFont" or "loadFontAs" the correct function?

[d.healey]

@nesta99 You need both, you have to load the font before you can set it in the paint routine.

Search this page for "font"

@d-healey Thanks. Tried there before coming here to ask, I will check again! Thanks man

[Sawer]

@d-healey what's the fontID in the "loadFontAs"or how can i call this function correctly?
So that it can load the font.

The "loadFont" here on mac is Depreciated.

[Dan Korneff]

so something like

Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/mycoolfont.ttf", "My Cool Font");

[Sawer]

@dustbro Is {PROJECT_FOLDER} a default text or I should replace it with the file path? I've just copy/paste that and replaces the font name, but it says "file not found".

Thanks

[Lindon]

@nesta99 put the font you require in the images folder, and then leave {PROJECT_FOLDER} alone

[Dan Korneff]

{PROJECT_FOLDER} = Image folder

@dustbro @Lindon
Thanks for the help.

But, I mean, is my computer dumb? ahah :D
I don't know why but still tell me that the file is not found. here are two Images, the first one where i have the .ttf file in the images folder and second I have the code. I don't know what's missing now.

[d.healey]

@nesta99

i have the .ttf file in the images folder

Is it in the images folder or in a folder called Fonts in the images folder?

[Sawer]

@d-healey In the images folder.

[d.healey]

@nesta99 Then why are you using {PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/... as the path ;)

[Sawer]

@d-healey
It's so true.
Thanks David. I'm learning all this by doing ahaha, so things that you may take as granted, It will take hours for me.

You're a lifesaver man!
Hope to be good at scripting like all of you guys here!!
