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. :P
*chuckles* More than likely. Was more a beginners scripting project that I felt like sharing. ;D
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 :P
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!"
