Did you edit any file in the fonts folder?

 

[FrozenNuke0327]

Yes, I Edited the gamefont.css


Could this be the cause of the error or is it something else?

 

[YoraeRasante]

There is a big chance.
You could have written the name of the font wrong, or edited something else you shouldn't...

[YoraeRasante]

show us your gamefont.css, let us see if it is right.

In the future, instead of taking a picture of the screen try using the PrntScr key to copy the whole screen, or Alt+PrntScr to copy just the current window, then paste it in an image editor, like even Paint.


That said... I can't find anything wrong...

Originally i was copying and pasting the font "Papyrus Regular" file,name: Papyrus_0, directy after that i, decided to


COPY AND paste Papyrus_0 into gamefont.css thinking it would work.


BUT it just gave me that error instead.

I have the same problem. I've been searching all the forums and there doesn't seem to be an answer. Loading a new font failed, so I changed it back to the generic font (copying and pasting the original code), and it still fails to load every time. I'm using Text Editor on a Mac to change the css file, that's the only weird thing i can think of.

Load failed means that the game could not load the fontfile specified.


To solve that problem, you need to find out why the engine couldn't load the fontfile.


It could be a problem of the filename (the filename has to conform to networking specifications, no spaces allowed), it could be because the file was stored at the wrong place.


Or it could have been because the reference in the css goes to the wrong place, or because of differences between fontname and fontfilename (whose are rarely identical).


Or it could be that the file is simply damaged and couldn't be lloaded at all.


I suggest trying to test it with a simple windows font first - one that is already installed and functioning in windows.

I figured it out and everyone should know this:


Apparently editing the .css file in TextEdit on a Mac garbles part of the code (opening the file in Safari or Word showed that it was garbled, even though it looked fine in TextEdit).


So I opened and edited it in Microsoft Word instead, and then it all functioned fine. 


I'm pretty sure I've used TextEdit on a .css file before with no problem, but in this case, avoid it!
