Print Page - Set textbox font at runtime

Title: Set textbox font at runtime
Post by: Radiant on Sat 05/12/2015 19:06:56

I'm using the option "use GUI for dialog options"; so whenever the player has to choose a dialog option, a text window pops up.

How do I set the font for this window, at runtime? It doesn't appear to correspond to Game.Speechfont or Game.Normalfont, and the textbox itself doesn't have a font control.

According to the manual, Game.NormalFont is used for "dialog options text".
If that doesn't work, you can work around it with custom dialog options rendering.

Nope, that doesn't work. Doing SetNormalFont(14) still has the dialog options rendered in the default font 1.

I just tried it out (AGS 3.3.4) with:
- default gui (black rectangle)
- custom GUI
- custom TextWindow.

Game.NormalFont works well in all 3 cases.
E: SetNormalFont() works too.

Are you sure this property is not changed somewhere else?
