Font problem help?

[Shuko]

Hey everybody.

I recently got a new font for one of my projects, and found something I can't seem to fix.

As you can see in the attached thumbnail, whenever I hit enter in a text box, a box appears in it's place. I've tried to get rid of it, but can't figure out how. Any advice or help is always much appreciated.

Thanks!

That square is usually what programs use for an unrecognized character - in this case, the line break character.

I've never messed around with new fonts in RPG Maker and hopefully someone else here can get you further - but if nothing else, try to figure out how to replace the line break character's visual with empty space, or google for unrecognized characters in RPG Maker and see what you come up with.

Thanks for the response! I'll do that now

not exactly - this square means that the font you're using does not have the letter or symbol that the program wants to place there. This can be anything from the special line feed symbols to arrows to local symbols or so.


In all cases it means that the font you selected is incomplete and missing part of the symbols or letters - the problem is not caused by the engine, but by the font.


There are two ways around that - the first one is the one mentioned above, try to find the place in the vocabs where the engine uses the not included symbol or letter and remove that part.


The other one is to complete the font with a font editor or replace it with a complete font.


However, look for a script "junk symbol fix" here on the forum - that solves about half the problems cause by incomplete fonts by replacing the way the vocabs are used.
