You can reference a font through it's enumerated index. Something like:Code: AGS int f = eFontFont0; Overlay *v = Overlay.CreateTextual(40, 40, 40, f, 6, "hi!");//where f stands in for the FontType parameter
I don't know if the wording I've used is correct, but the code works
Thanks, that seems to work perfectly.
Anyway, I'm just going to post the code here, as it's easier for me to keep it updated.
