Sorry your browser is not supported!

For my programs I am trying to write fractions in a very small space and so I found the font "MS Reference Specialty" and I can use it in word and power point and things,,, and its there in the fonts section in control pannel. But I cant seem to get it to that font in darkbasic.



But this doesn't seem to work and it just stays as the Default font.

is there any way I can access it?


thanks,,,

@Code eater
Two things:

1. call your command with a ,1 a the end:
SET TEXT FONT "MS REFERENCE SPECIALTY",1

2. If that still makes no difference, check out the following link:

DBC Font Dialog DLL

I wrote the DLL to help out Nanogamez Guy to over come the limits of the Perform Checklist commands. If you run the example DBC code that calls the DLL, it will open a font dialog box. If your font MS REFERENCE SPECIALTY is in the proper folder, the dialog box should pick it up. If it does, I believe it makes it available for DBC use because it is called through DBC - it becomes installed in the windows font table.

After you select a font, the font name should appear at the top of the screen when the dialog box closes. This is the name of the font with the correct spelling that should be used with DBC.

Also, just making sure, you are using the TEXT command right? I don't think that the PRINT command can use any other font.

Yeah,,, quite right to check lol. very common mistake, but yes, i am using the TEXT command rather than the PRINT command. Thanks.
