GameMaker (Solved) How to create and add in fonts in Gamemaker Studio 2?

[DetonDev]

New user here! I have a very stupid problem, I can't find any tutorials on fonts! Apparently, the last complete tutorial on fonts was by Shaun Spalding, and it was for 1.4, so I decided to look on the forums. Can any of you help out?

Thanks!

What part exactly are you stuck on?

The manual gives detailed information on what you can do with fonts:

Via IDE : The Font Editor
Via code : Fonts Reference

To create a font in the IDE, you just right-click on the Fonts section of the Resource Tree and select Create Font.

In code, you have font_add() and font_add_sprite() functions (as well as a few others to manipulate fonts) to do this.

To use a font in code use draw_set_font(name_of_your_font)

Draw Event

draw_set_font(my_font)
draw_text(x, y, "This is my cool font")

Ok, this bit is what I was looking for.

Thanks for your help!
