This custom script (mostly) works...

[boldpaste2]

I am trying to add several windows to the menu including location and 4 different currencies (or points) based on a variable. I pretty much got it functional but there is one problem I can't seem to crack. I am trying to specify two separate fonts for the currencies and the map name. The map name is supposed to be constantia (and it works) while the numbers are supposed to be Felix Titling (but it is coming out to be constantia). Even if I cut the map name font settings out I still have no control over them. Can someone please point out my goof .

Just do a search for #Not working as intended

I think this is the way to do that. I can't really test it right now.

def refresh  contents.clear  contents.font.size = 36  contents.font.out_color = Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0)  contents.font.name = ["Felix Titling"]  text = $game_variables[50]  draw_text(x - line_height, y, width, line_height, text, 2)end

That is correct.  Anywhere you have "Font.default_" you want to change to "contents.font.".  Also worth noting, your window_width methods are doing nothing since you're explicitly defining a width of 500 in your initialize.

What I did was create several defs for several font settings and I would load the font needed before the draw, and the next font needed after the draw. I had also discovered that the font's were changing all the fonts in the other menues as well so after the script ran I had to run another font change to restore things back to normal. I thought fonts would only change the fonts of whats inside the class?

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Get Fonts #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def refresh_fonts Font.default_size = 30 Font.default_out_color = Color.new(0,0,0,0) Font.default_name = ["Constantia"] end def restore_fonts Font.default_size = 36 Font.default_out_color = Color.new(0,0,0,120) Font.default_name = ["Felix Titling"] end def fix_fonts Font.default_size = 24 Font.default_out_color = Color.new(0,0,0,255) Font.default_name = ["Constantia"] end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  # * Refresh  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  def refresh	contents.clear  refresh_fonts	draw_text_ex(x, y, $game_map.display_name)  restore_fonts  end

@ Neon Black Yea, I know my window_width is doing nothing. Still has some of my trial and error stuff in there. xD

You're changing the global properties of the font class as it's initialized.  By changing Font.default_ anything, it changes the default values when a new instance of Font class is created, which happens any time a new instance of Bitmap class is created, which is what "contents" is.  Despite this, you're able to change the properties of an instance of the Font class after it has been created, such as "bitmap_instance.font.size = 16".  So as mentioned, anywhere you have "Font.default_" anything in there needs to change to "contents.font." to work properly to only change the one bitmap's font properties.

AH ok. so its contents.font. I kept using content.font when I initially tried the method. Thanks for helping me out there ^^. By any chance you have any good references in learning rgss3? I am trying to learn it and this was my first attempt (while looking at a base).

I don't know any. I normally just look for references of classes and methods when I look at a new language. Otherwise, glad we could help get this taken care of.
