Fonts

Can someone please give me an example of how to change the font type and size as I just can't get this to work using the loadimagefont. I'm using windows XP as well as the Linux versions

I figured it out, you have to have the font in the same folder you save your program code. It would be good if this was explained somewhere

Do TrueType fonts work properly on all platforms?? Or does someone need a mac font, pc font, and linux font if they want to use fonts?

Can't you use enironment variables? Something like %windows%\fonts\arial.ttf?

I'm sure I read a post that mentioned that somewhere

I tried using the windows font with linux but I got some errors even though i had copied the font to the folder. I think you need to configure linux to use windows fonts, which I'm checking just now

I have just checked and you can use the windows fonts with Linux. It just takes some small configuring and it works just fine :o)
