if i'm not mistaken
make a var string
and let user enter the font they wanted, and place that string var to the fontID
but i think it will be better if you give a list of avaliable choices of font for the user to enter, and it must be exact

or if you dont like that idea, you can also make a few different type of font variables
and output them, so the user can see what they are like and let user pick( that would be another int variable or char)
and if user picked let say 1 or a then you will use serif or whatever.
i hope this helps Wink good luck

oh ok then thats quite simple,
code:

var font1 : int
var input : string %input as a string
get input % getting the user's input
font1 := Font.New ("serif:12:bold,italic") % serif is the font you want, and 12 is the size and bold italic
Font.Draw (input, 50, 30, font1, red) % 50 is x, 30 is y, font1 is the font and font size and any addition to var font1, and last one is the colour red


hope it helps

You have a choice between either my gets() function, or ericfourfour's Getter class. Search for either of them in Turing Submissions and you should find them easily enough.
