How to Change Font in VX Game
by Woratana

Introduction
When I tried making the VX game in Trial, I don't feel like the font that comes with game (UmePlus Gothic).
(I don't hate it, but I just prefer other font.)

And finally I found way to do, so I want to share this with anyone who want to use other font in RMVX game~

(It's same solution as when you change font in RMXP. You can skip this tutorial if you how to do that already. )
Solution
First, open Script Editor (F11) and go to "Main" (It's the latest script).

Place this script:

CODE

Font.default_name = "Font_Name"
Font.default_size = Font_size

You can place it anywhere before this line:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new

(I like to put it after begin, but it's not matter you put it before or after begin)

Replace Font_Name with Name of the font
Replace Font_size with the size of font you want

For example, I want to change font to Tahoma and size 20

CODE

Font.default_name = "Tahoma"
Font.default_size = 20

Some screenshot when you changed the font:




something I've to tell you more is in Main, you will found this script

CODE

unless Font.exist?("UmePlus Gothic")
  print "UmePlus Gothic フォントが見つかりません。"
  exit
end

This will check if the computer has font "UmePlus Gothic". If not, the game will close.
So, when you changed the font, you may want to delete those 4 lines.

==========================
Some Features to decorate Font
It's similar to the features in RMXP. But I want to share in case someone didn't know about that

The place to put these scripts are same as when you change the font.

CODE

Font.default_bold = true/false

Make the bold text

CODE

Font.default_italic = true/false

Make the italic text

CODE

Font.default_shadow = true/false

Make the text with shadow. << When you start game, the shadow automatically = true.
(BB Code cannot make the shadow text )
^ RMXP don't have Shadow, so this will not work in XP

CODE

Font.default_color = Color.new(Red, Green, Blue, Opacity)

Change text color
e.g. Default color when game starts is...

CODE

Font.default_color = Color.new(255, 255, 255, 255)

You can find RGB color from this page:

Take a look at column R;G;B Dec.

I hope this tutorial will help
