SFont script

[Trickster 1]

SFont

Version: 1.0.1

Introduction

 

A quick script I wrote that gives the maker access to SFonts. An SFont is an image that replaces font files that contains the characters you want to display. For more information here is the official sfont page http://www.linux-games.com/sfont

 

Features

 

1. Quick (faster than <Bitmap>.draw_text)
   
2. Looks cooler than regular old boring fonts =P
   
3. Allows for more customization instead of a font you are editing an image file
   
4. Easy to use
   
5. Easy to create your own
   
6. No hassle of worrying that the end user has so and so font

Instructions

 

Plug and play just add above main make sure this is the last script above main (reason being if another script modifies draw_text thing this script will flop)

See the header of the script for further instruction

Just put your font in the SFonts folder run the game and get it out of converted

 

be sure to test the font thoroughly though as my utility won't get it exactly how you want it but very close
