Unable to change Font size

[Thirsty Panther]

I'm unable to change the size of the Font in Leadwerks.

 

I originally had the problem in my own project. To remove all of my own interference I made a map with code from the Documentation Font:GetFont.

 

To change the font size I alter this line:

 

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",36)

 

Changing the "36" to 12,18,24,48,60 or 72 makes no change to the size of the font.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

are you setting the context's font after you load the font size you want?

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",36)

self.context:SetFont(font)

 

Edit- On a side note, I am not sure why you uploaded a *.map file? It would be more helpful to see your script.

Thanks for the quick reply.

As stated in my OP I used the example script from the Font: Get Font documentation.

 

function App:Start()

 

self.window = Window:Create()

self.context = Context:Create(self.window)

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/arial.ttf",36)

self.context:SetFont(font)

font:Release()

return true

end

 

function App:Loop()

 

if (self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyDown(Key.Escape)) then return false end

 

self.context:SetColor(0,0,0)

self.context:Clear()

 

--Draw some centered text on the screen

local text = "Leadwerks"

 

local font = self.context:GetFont()

 

local x = self.window:GetWidth()/2

local y = self.window:GetHeight()/2

 

x = x - font:GetTextWidth(text)/2

y = y - font:GetHeight()/2

 

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

self.context:SetColor(1,1,1)

self.context:DrawText(text,x,y)

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

 

self.context:Sync()

return true

end

 

Yes the self.context:SetFont (font) is there. My problem is changing the 36 to 60 or 72 makes no difference to the text size.

Does the script work for you?

 

Re the map file, last time I posted a question and included a script I was asked for a map

 

Cheers

yep, the script works just fine for me. Do you get any errors/warnings? Have you tried another font?

 

As for what you need to provide to reproduce the problem - if its model/csg/physics related then typically the model or a map will be needed; if it is something driven by code, then provide a simple example script.

Thanks macklebee.

Yeah I tried it with other fonts with no luck. I think I will reinstall as I'm having problems downloading stuff from the workshop as well.

 

Thank for your help.

Your script works fine. Please update your project as you may have an old executable.

I get it to work by placing the set font in app.lua script.

 

Thanks for checking.
