Hi folks
Having trouble declaring fonts,
Suspected my syntav, so created a very simple test level (1 hollow cube).
I tried v6 & v7 - and got -
In v6 - got 'FONT* NOT FOUND'
In v7- got 'eRROR IN MAIN : FONT UNDECLARED IDENTIFIER'
Below are my scripts - any ideas please?
Familiar with scripting (v5) but new to v6/v7
