Blitz3D's Font

What font does Blitz3D use print text to the screen?

Verdana, I think.
You can change it with LoadFont and SetFont.

Hmmmm it doesn't seem to match. I'm trying to reset the text after using a larger font.

I think Blitz3D's default font must be embedded in the exe. The only way I know of getting blitz to go back to using it is to FreeFont the currently set font. Think that should do it.

OK that works.
Thanks

It definetly looks like a fixed spaced font.

It looks similar to a font i have called @SimSun

Ok, it's definetly Courier New, point size 12 :o)

Print "HELLO!."
Print "hello.!"

font = LoadFont("courier",12)
SetFont font

Print "HELLO!."
Print "hello.!"

WaitKey()


Courier's a good one to use, if you need a fixed-width font.

It's the same one as blitz. Must be the one it uses :o) Man... i'm bored...

Hmmm, wonder what happens on systems without courier installed. Not very likely, I know, but...

lol. Same 'ere! :P

Blitz3D's font file is in the Blitz3D directory, search the folder for 'Blitz' and the font is bound to come up.

blitz.fon is the IDE font, not the default font used when printing text.
