Set font style?

[VirtualVirgin]

How do I use different font styles in with the graphics?

Trying this but it doesn't take and HISE gives me the default font instead:

 g.setFont("Fredoka-Bold", buttonSize);

It must be something simple, I'm sure.

@VirtualVirgin Have you embedded the font in your project's image folder and loaded it with Engine.loadFontAs(String fileName, String fontId)?

For my part, I embed styles in different font files so they can all be loaded separately, I don't see another way to load styles, which is a wee bit annoying...

Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/myFont-normal.ttf", "Normal");
Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/myFont-bold.ttf", "Bold");
Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/myFont-italic.ttf", "Italic");
// etc...

@ustk I do the same. I dont know if im doing something wrong or not. I havent figured out how to do font styles.

@ustk Thank you!

I made an inline function to load all of the fonts from your project fonts folder and auto-name them. I thought it would be easier just to drag the .ttf or .otf into the Fonts folder and let this do the rest. FYI- the naming here removes "-Regular" from the loadFontAs target name so for instance "Nunito-Regular" will now just be referred to as "Nunito". The other types will keep their suffix.

// this will load all of your fonts which are stored in the projectFolder/Images/Fonts
inline function loadAllFontsFromProjectFolder()
{
	local appDataFolder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);
	local fontsFolder = appDataFolder.getChildFile("Fonts");
	local fontFiles = FileSystem.findFiles(fontsFolder, "*.ttf;*.otf", false);

	for (file in fontFiles)
	{
		local fontPath = file.toString(File.FullPath);
		local fontName = file.toString(File.Filename);
		local targetName = "";

		// if the file name suffix is "-Regular", loadAs will use just the prefix
		if (fontName.endsWith("-Regular.ttf") || fontName.endsWith("-Regular.otf"))
			targetName = fontName.substring(0, fontName.lastIndexOf("-Regular."));
		else if (fontName.endsWith(".ttf") || fontName.endsWith(".otf"))
			targetName = fontName.substring(0, fontName.lastIndexOf("."));

		Engine.loadFontAs(fontPath, targetName);
	}
}
