Using more than one font in a game

[ethervagabond]

So, I know how to change the main game font, that's pretty easy. I want to have my title screen be in a different font. I've only found one plugin that seems to do this, Eli's Font Manager. But for some reason it just doesn't seem to work. I even tested it on a fresh project with no other plugins loaded. The support video for Yanfly's Load Custom Fonts seems to imply it can do this, but the actual plugin just seems to be a way to load fonts for the game, not display them. That video also says something about Yanfly's Message Core changing the font, but I can't find any command listed in the help file that does that. Is there some other way I can do this? Some script call or plugin? Thanks.

Hi there!
Did you install the Eli Book above the Font Manager?
Can you show me your plugin parameters or give me a link to this sample project you made with only my plugin?

Hi. So, I did put the Eli Book in my current project and sample project. I made a little composite image here. When I use my current project, I get the error message in the first picture here. When I use the sample project I get the second error message. The settings I'm using are in the third pic. Thank you!

EDIT: Soooo....I figured out what the issue was. Apparently whatever name you use for your Font Face needs to start with a capital letter. That's kinda weird lol. Got it working with the sample project. I still haven't gotten it working with my actual project though, though that's just a plugin order issue I'm sure. Any chance you could tell me what sort of plugins are likely to interfere with Eli's Book and/or Eli's Font Manager?

Hi!
Well, the "start with a capital letter" is really a weird thing.
It seems to me that maybe can be a compatibility issue with Yep Plugins and Dk Tools. I don't know for sure, but probably. I believe now I will really need a sample project with those plugins already set up, together with the error to test it out and find the issue.
I made that plugin a long time ago. Maybe by taking a second look, I can also improve it. But still, I will need the sample project to check compatibility issues.

What is the extension of your font file? ttf?

It is a ttf. ....I think I just figured it out. See, I had a font in my font folder that wasn't listed in your plugin, and it was an .otf. I'm not sure if it just being in there without being listed is what caused it, or if it was an otf. I had turned ALL of my plugins off and it still wasn't working. I couldn't figure it out lol.

Hopefully, now I can just turn all my plugins back on and it will work. That sucks though, I really wanted to use that .otf for my main game font. Well, I can always find another font.

EDIT: Okay...this is really strange. Now I'm getting a new error message, I'll attach it. It mentions 4 different plugins. I tried different combinations of turning them off and on, and it seems as long as YEP_RowFormation and YEP_EnhancedTP are off, it will work. However. I tried it on a fresh project with all 4 of those plugins plus the Book and Font Manager, ALL 6 PLUGINS in the exact same order as in my game, and in the fresh project, all 6 plugins work together fine. Very strange.

EDIT2: okay....I messed around with the load order enough and I got it working somehow. Or it might have been the fact that I forgot to put back a file I had moved required by a different plugin when I was turning all my plugins off and on to make sure it didn't get deleted some how. I DON'T KNOW. Anyway, it's working now. Now I just have to make sure nothing screws up the delicate balance of my plugin order...heh....

Lol!
In your project, you are starting the game within a save file? Or is starting a new game?
My plugin adds some things into the save file, so maybe you want to erase your save files(make a backup before)?

When you send the error triggers, press F8 or F12 and send the console log print.

I was starting a new game, but check my most recent edit, which I was doing while you were typing, probably. I got it working lol

Thanks for your help!!
