Changing your game's font can bring a lot of personality to your game. It is important to note that there are four areas where you might want to change your font for consistency.

• Adventure (ADV) Message Text - When using the default message box.
• Novel (NVL) Message Text - When using the NVL Command.
• Backlog Message Text - When checking Backlog.
• Custom Message Text - When using Set Message Area.

There are many ways you can do this.

• Text Codes
• Message Settings
• Script Calls
• Script Editor

Using the Script Editor

If you are feeling courageous, we can use the Script Editor to change the font.

• Go to Script Editor.
  
• Right Click -> Add New Folder and place it above Main. Like this:
  
• Right Click -> New Folder -> Properties. Then name it however you like.
• Select the folder you just made. Right Click -> New CoffeeScript File.
• Right Click -> New CoffeeScript File -> Properties. Let's name it Style_New.
• Insert the code below!

###
# CONSTANTS FOR FONT SIZE
###
class DesktopUIConstants
    @TEXT_SIZE_SMALL = 20
    @TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE = 24
    @TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE_NAME = 25
gs.DesktopUIConstants = DesktopUIConstants
gs.UIConstants = DesktopUIConstants
###
# NAME BOX
###
ui.UIManager.styles.messageBoxNameText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE_NAME, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "color": [59, 59, 59, 255],
    }
}
###
# ADV MODE
###
ui.UIManager.styles.advMessageText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "color": [59, 59, 59, 255],
    }
}
###
# NVL MODE
###
ui.UIManager.styles.nvlMessageText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "color": [59, 59, 59, 255],
        
    }
}
###
# CUSTOM MESSAGE
###
ui.UIManager.styles.customMessageText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "color": [59, 59, 59, 255],
        } 
}
###
# BACKLOG, ETC.
###
ui.UIManager.styles.messageText = {
    "font": { 
    "name": "Times New Roman", 
    "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE, 
    "smallCaps": false, 
    "italic": false, 
    }
}
###
# Defines the font used for the name-column of the message backlog.
###
ui.UIManager.styles.backlogNameText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE_NAME, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "border": true, 
        "borderSize": 4 }
}

Here's a quick breakdown:

• name - the font's name when imported in your Fonts folder. You can also use a system default like Times New Roman or Arial
• size - the font's size. You can change this to a number if you don't want to use a constant.
• TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE - The default size of the message font.
• TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE_NAME - The default size of the name font.
• smallCaps - Change all text to lowercase.
• italic - Italicizes the font.
• outline - The font's outline color and size.

You can also add your own properties. For example, adding bold to messages would look like this:

###
# ADV MODE
###
ui.UIManager.styles.advMessageText = {
    "font": { 
        "name": "Times New Roman", 
        "size": gs.UIConstants.TEXT_SIZE_MESSAGE, 
        "smallCaps": false, 
        "italic": false, 
        "bold": true,


        "color": [59, 59, 59, 255],
    }
}

Don't be afraid to play around with it! The editor will tell you if an error occurs. So you don't have to worry if you might break your project.

Now that we have given you ways to change your game font, have fun!
