Font.Draw issues...

[Alex C.]

I have a font i would like to use in "Font .Draw" but i can't put that font in the font folder.
Any way I can manipulate turing to allow me to do so? :/

If you're using somebody else's computer, you would need administrative priviledges.

Unless you're on your own computer, you'll have to look in the Fonts already on that computer, and settle on one of them.

well i'm at my school and i wonder if there is any way to linnk the type of font i have on my usb to the "Font.Draw" function

Turing its self cannot install files. If however you are using a windows computer this will install the font for you. You will have to check the fonts each time when you run your program to see if its installed.

but will this work on a school computer?

also i'm typing this extra post so i can add +1 karma

Not sure. It works for my vista computer. so I doubt it wouldnt work on xp

[Alex C.]

um are you an admin for your pc?

[copthesaint]

yes. no one else uses my labtop.
It is likley if it doesnt work for you that it will only work for teachers.

[Alex C.]

aw...
oh well thanks!

[copthesaint]

Well thats all that can be done. If you use the program on a personal computer you will have no issues. Maybe your school has old labtop that you can use, talk to your computer technician.

wait, um some person that made the game "Pi at sea Survival" included font files in the zip. Maybe he was able to insert them directly :/
