font editor panel and font functions

[krugen]

So I downloaded a font from Google and created a font resource:
https://docs2.yoyogames.com/index.html?page=source/_build/3_scripting/4_gml_reference/fonts/font_add.html

How do I proceed then? Do I need to do font_add()? Do I need to do some code with font functions?
https://docs2.yoyogames.com/index.html?page=source/_build/3_scripting/4_gml_reference/fonts/font_add.html

Create event:

font_in_use = font_add(font_questrial, 18, false, false, 32, 127);

draw_set_font(font_in_use);

draw_set_color(c_black);

Draw event:

draw_text(20, 20, "game is building");

Nothing happens


Updates:
If I do draw_set_font(font_questrial) without using font_add, it works.

If you added the font in the IDE as a font resource, then you do not need to use font_add. The link to font_add in the manual tells you that it is used to add fonts into your game when the font is installed in your system (ie: in your OS, not the IDE). So you would just use draw_set_font to use the font that you have already added into the IDE yourself by creating the font resource.

Right, thanks, mate. Have a nice day.
