Post by: clakes707 on April 21, 2007, 02:44:46 AM

I believe:

Find font "Maiandra GD" somewhere on the net and install it.

OR

REPLACE MAIN with this:

Code: [Select]

#==============================================================================
# ** Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  After defining each class, actual processing begins here.
#==============================================================================

begin
  # Prepare for transition
  $defaultfonttype = $fontface = $fontname = Font.default_name = "Maiandra GD"
$defaultfontsize = $fontsize = Font.default_size = 22
  Graphics.freeze
  # Make scene object (title screen)
  $scene = Scene_Title.new
  # Call main method as long as $scene is effective
  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end
  # Fade out
  Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  # Supplement Errno::ENOENT exception
  # If unable to open file, display message and end
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")
end

and replace the "Maiandra GD" with a font your computer has installed.

Not sure what you mean by replaced the font, it is in the script called main, if that is what you mean. And i changed your script with the old one, not just added it.

EDIT: I tried to look it up on google, but most of the sites were asking for money, about $30 to get it, and I don't want to do that. Could I jst use the name of a font already installed? If so, tell me how to do this. Thanks! :)

In the script near the beggining it should say Font.default_name = "Maiandra GD" that's what he wants you to change. Something like Tahoma or Times New Roman. Get it?


#==============================================================================
# ** Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  After defining each class, actual processing begins here.
#==============================================================================

begin
  # Prepare for transition
  $defaultfonttype = $fontface = $fontname = Font.default_name = "Maiandra GD"
$defaultfontsize = $fontsize = Font.default_size = 22
  Graphics.freeze
  # Make scene object (title screen)
  $scene = Scene_Title.new
  # Call main method as long as $scene is effective
  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end
  # Fade out
  Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  # Supplement Errno::ENOENT exception
  # If unable to open file, display message and end
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")
end
