Re: Random FontFace from text file or @Resources folder
Do understand that the "random" in the Quote plugin is random like throwing a pair of dice, not random like drawing a card from the stack and discarding it. The fewer "things" there are to choose from, the more likely that the same choice can and will be made twice in a row. Much like flipping a coin, over time it will be random, but nothing says you can't flip heads twice in a row.

FontFace.txt is ANSI, still only shows 2 fonts.

Re: Random FontFace from text file or @Resources folder
I don't know what to tell you. I loaded your skin and made the following two changes:
Removed the empty StringStyle= option which was raising an error
Changed UpdateDivider to 2 so it happens fast for my testing.
And it works just fine. It randomly changes between all the fonts you have in that FontFace.txt file.

Re: Random FontFace from text file or @Resources folder
I removed the empty StringStyle= ... still out of 9 fonts, only 1 shows and the default font.
Is there any way to make a Random measure to make it work?

Same for me. It works well.jsmorley wrote:And it works just fine. It randomly changes between all the fonts you have in that FontFace.txt file.
Probably the problem is with the UpdateDivider=300 option of the [MeasureFontFace] measure. Due to this option, the measure updates once per 5 minutes, so the font is changed rarely enough to be hard to be seen.
the_metal_lord, please remove the above option and let us know if the font is changed each second.
