Instructions

Installation -

• To install the script, open the script editor in RPGMVX, then scroll down to the 'Materials' section.
• Right-Click underneath and select 'Insert'
• Name the new script whatever you wish. Game_Font or Change_Font might be helpful though.
• Copy the script, then paste it into the editor.

Usage -

Simply replace the values with your own.

For example, to use different font names, replace ["Times New Roman"] with ["Courier New"]
Make sure that font names used are either standard Windows fonts, or that you supply a secondary font name as a backup.
IE: ["CruzCodas Gum", "Times New Roman"]

Bold, Italics, Shadow are all TRUE/FALSE
Size is an integer. RPGMVX default size is 20

Author's Notes

Wanted to change the font style of the game. Don't get me wrong, I like Arial/Courier, but they were just too big.

Restrictions

None. Use it as you like.

Good for supplementary knowledge, altough I think most people know how do it already.

*chuckles* More than likely. Was more a beginners scripting project that I felt like sharing. 

It's definitely useful for beginners. I am surprised you took the time to put it into the Script Template though. That must have taken longer than writing the script did

Anyway, nice job.

Being my first post, and first contribution, figured I would follow the stickied stuff for the board, lest I be mocked by a thousand pigeons for all of my days... or something equally horrible. *g*

Now, for my next script, "Hello, World!"

Now, for my next script, "Hello, World!"

 

Now, for my next script, "Hello, World!"

 

Now, for my next script, "Hello, World!"

 

That will be very interesting script.

Anyway, this is good start.

Now, for my next script, "Hello, World!"

 

Will I have to do that too? Anyways, nice! I know that I don't know how to change all that stuff in VX!

And OKAY then...
