Game font won't change?

I'm trying to change the font for my game.

I want Courier New. I've changed Base font in Display, and I've changed any instances that set the font in the code, but still the new font won't take??

Any ideas?

Came across a couple of games while categorising that were using Courier, so I know it can be used. I also have Courier stored on my computer, so that's not the reason it's refusing to show.

Never mind. I had to select null in the Web Font option. It was set to Hind, whatever the hell that is.

Still puzzled as to why it was defaulting to the Web font, when I was using the desktop version of Quest.

"Web font" just means it's a google typeface loaded from the web. It's not specific to one player or the other.

So what's the base font? And does web font always over-ride base font if selected?

I just noticed on the Display tab, in the Font section above the Base Font choice, it says:

"The web font will override the base font if an internet connection is available, or if the game is running in a web browser"

(where the latter pretty much implies the former... I think),

So basically, if the Quest engine is able to load the selected web font, it will use it. Otherwise, you'll get the base font. (if both have been set)

Ah. Missed that.
