Cannot use custom font #751

Open gittysock opened 3 weeks ago

gittysock commented 3 weeks ago

Hello, I have been trying to add the following custom fonts: Enchanted Land and Kingthings Petrock. I install them and they show up as selectable in the font list, but when I select them the game only uses the default FF9 PC font, and not the custom font. Is there a way to be able to use these fonts?

Enchanted Lands: https://www.dafont.com/enchanted-land.font

Kingthings Petrock: https://www.dafont.com/kingthings-petrock.font

What type of font is it using could be a type issue like TrueType vs OpenType? I'm just wondering if the font parser is having problems with specific types.

We noticed that there's the list of fonts of the launcher (taken from the system) and Unity has its own list of fonts, which is more constrained, and it works only when the font is in the Unity list too. The best would be to make the font dynamically integrated to unity, I have no idea how we can do that, but it's definitely a problem we need to tackle.

Usually, you need to install the font for all users to make it work. On Windows, right-click the font (here it's the .otf file) and select "Install for all users".

I am not sure of why you need to do that but indeed there seems to be some kind of mismatch about which fonts are usable by which programs or games.

I think one of these is otf (Enchanted Land) and the other is ttf (Kingthings Petrock), and neither work. I'm thinking it is snouz's explanation

This worked... THANK YOU! I thought I had it installed for all users by doing the normal install process, but right clicking and clicking install for all users worked!

For anyone who is having a similar problem, follow Trilitliti's comment:
