Hi,

I plan to create computer games with GameMaker 8.1 and sell them in the future. I may use draw_text() to draw some texts in my games with Times New Roman font. If some customers buy my games, they will play my games on their computers. If there is no Times New Roman font on their computers, what will display on their computers' screens while they are playing my games.?

In this world, perhaps nearly all Windows computers have Times New Roman font. There may still be a small percentage of Windows computers without this font.

Yes, this is my question. Thanks.

Doesn't matter if they have the font or not, GMS embeds all used fonts as raster images in your texture pages

Using GameMaker 8.1 is a mistake.

It's obsolete, unsupported and is unreliable on Windows OSes beyond v7.

If you're serious about selling your games then buy GMS 2.
