Usage

• filename String. Filename of the font to load, relative to the 'fonts' subdirectory.

Examples

var f = LoadFont("myfont.rfn");
f.drawText(100, 80, "This text is drawn with a font.");
FlipScreen();
GetKey();

The above example will show the text using the font 'myfont.rfn', inside the game's 'fonts' subdirectory. The font file must exist first.

Notes

• To load fonts in subdirectories other than 'fonts', use one of the following prefixes, followed by the desired path:
  • '~/' to load from the game's base directory. This allows for better organisation.
  • '/common/' to load from 'Sphere/common/', a directory that can be shared by all games.

• If text needs to be displayed, but the font style isn't important, consider the alternative function GetSystemFont().
