Draw.Text

why doesnt this work?

var font : int
font := Font.New ("serif:12")
assert font1 > 0
var width : int:= Font.Width ("This is in a serif font", font)
var height, ascent, descent, internalLeading : int
Font.Sizes (font, height, ascent, descent, internalLeading)
Draw.Text ("This is in a serif font", 50, 30, font, red)
Draw.Box (50, 30 + descent, 50 + width, 30 + height, brightblue)
Font.Free (font)

You have been warned before to use [code] tags. Please start doing so you will face consequences for not following simple rules.

As for your question. Please be more specific. What part about it is not working? The fact that "font1" has not been declared? Or that the box does not draw correctly? Or the colours are wrong...? What is it.

code:

assert font1 > 0

you misspelled your variable. It should be just font.

wut exactly does assert do anyway?

[Cervantes]

It asserts (makes sure) that a given condition is true (not false). If it isn't true (is false), it exits the program.
