Is it possible to secure that a
certain Truetype Font
(in my case Heattenschweiler)
is defenitly loaded by the engine,

Is it possible to load the truetype font
from the game directory, if it is not intalled
on the System.

As I read, only "Arial", "Times", and "Courier"
are on ever Windows machine.
Where are these Fonts stored, so that I could load them?
(in my case Heattenschweiler)

As far as I know, you only have to copy the font file you want to use to the "Fonts" folder, into your Windows folder (default: WINDOWS / WINNT)

When you want to use a font in C-Script, you have two ways:

font name = <filename>, width, height; // bitmap
font name = "fontname", style, size; // truetype font

I think you should use a bitmap instead of a truetype font. Thus, you won't have any problem. It will work fine on any machine, that's for sure

Also, as stated in the wiki, on some computers there is a huge performance loss while using Truetype-Fonts. (TrueType-Fonts render slower anyways)


Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!

The problem with bitmaps is, that the palette
is sometimes messed up.
Stupid 8Bit System ...

You can increase the number of colors to "true color" and your 8 bit fonts will look ok.
