Hello I would like to be possible to type a digit with a var, that aligns the number from right to left... for ANY TrueType font.. Without messing up the aligment. I want Arial to work! come on! How come? i have to use courier? LOL this is the situation: var value; Panel with this:
PANEL* test =
{
pos_x=20;
pos_y=20;
size_x=200;
size_y=120;
flags= SHOW;
digits(90,37,\"%5.0f Messages\",Arial#18b,1,value);
digits(90,56,\"%5.0f Messages\",Courier#18b,1,value);
layer=3;
}
Use console TAB to change in runtime value to 10, 100, 1000... And they will act very very different. Also Times font wont work!? Thats not logical without a remark! And im not using spaces, just numbers. the manual is clear and even gives example " TrueType or bitmap character set for the display. Either a predefined FONT, or A6.6 a font filename or Truetype font name with size and style (like "Arial#24bi") can be given. If '*' ist given, the engine standard font is used." flags] = Optional one or more of the following characters:
- = Left align the number within the given field width. Default: Right align.I dont know what is the algorithm you use to align, but that "feature" is not what its saying for sure. it Should work for ANY Font. Thanks! and i think this is really embarrassing for you...

called! ^^ Back to topic: Not shure if I've understood you. Have a try...  If your source says it's monospace, I guess so.. even it shows that it is, doesn't it? just try! Yeah, you define them like any other truetype font. But I must confess that finding out whats the expected name did confuse me in the past sometimes, too. I believe it was just the name the font have got from its author. If you want to make sure, that every user of your program/game have the font - just put it inside your package (there are as well some scripts installing a font automatic)
