I'm trying to setup a selector script that occurs onOnline that changes a font based on a hidden text field. I'm using the dim as xpFont, engine.GetFontByName and text.CurrentFont = fontChoice. I cannot get the CurrentFont portion to work correctly, but the script doesn't throw any errors. The font that's shown is just the font selected in Layout, not what the script calls for.

Ultimately, what I want is to be able to enter "1" in a text field and it changes the font.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nothing obvious stands out as being incorrect.. Could you send a dropbox link to the scene (import it into an empty project so it is smaller to send)?

There are other ways of doing this to which might be easier like prepending a font tag to the text such as something like this:

`Title.TextWithTags = "{FS_Title_Home}" + Title.Text`

Doing it this way would not require the CurrentFont property or to clear and append text to it.. Would probably make the script smaller. The way you are doing it though should work fine, so there is probably just some small typo.. I'm usually pretty quick at finding them once I have the scene itself..

That works perfectly, thank you!

I just thought of what could be wrong in your original script.. You might need to reverse the order of the lines where you set the .CurrentFont then set `.Text=""`. You probably need to clear the text first, then set the CurrentFont. If you set the CurrentFont first, then set `.Text=""` it may actually be causing the font you choose to be undone and revert back to the layout font. Glad to hear the TextWithTags works for you though.

Yes sir, that also fixed it.

Thank you for your prompt response.
