put will draw a box of background colour behind itself. You might be looking for [tdoc]Font.Draw[/tdoc]

procedure DrawFont (name : string, input : string, locationx, locationy : int)
    var font : int %font name
    %Example for description of name : "Papyrus:10:Bold"
    font := Font.New (name) %font is assigned to the name given in the parameters
    assert font > 0 %checks if the font exists
    Font.Draw (input, locationx, locationy, font, green) %draws what i want, in position locationx, locationy, with my desired font, also in green.
    Font.Free (font) %frees the font
end DrawFont



example of how to call the procedure:
DrawFont("Papyrus:10:Bold","i am drawing this onto the screen!",300,300

this is just an example of how one would utlize Font.Draw ...

You wouldn't need an assert statement because if the font doesn't exist turing will use arial

and what if the computer that the program is being run on doesn't have arial installed? picky, but ... hey :P

I don't have the Arial font yet it still works for me :P ... I believe Turing will just default to whatever font you are using in its text window if a specified font is not installed.
