Alright, so, it's been a while since I used A6, so sorry if this is wrong - can't exactly look it up so easily nowadays.
But I think it used to be defined like this:
FONT Arialfont = "Arial",20,1;
where the 20 was the size and the other number defined whether it was a boldtype font or italicized or whatever. I think "1" meant bold type, but you'd have to experiment.
Again, no guarantees, but probably worth a shot!
As far as draw_textmode goes, this is always slow. You can use it once when starting your game, but from that moment onwards only use draw_text every frame. In general, if you're calling draw_textmode every frame, you're doing it wrong.
