Custom font Problem [SOLVED]

[Play2Die]

The problem is that im trying to create a simple clock with a custom font but i wont load the font i have installed/put in the @Resources folder. It just keeps using Arial

This is the Custom font: http://www.dafont.com/farcry.font

I have tried using rainfont and it Told me that the name was: FarCry and that no StringStyle was needed. And yes i have tried it.

This is the code

Works fine for me. I just put the .ttf file in a folder named @Resources\Fonts under the root level of the skin:

C:\Users\Jeffrey\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\TestSkin\@Resources\Fonts

Then loaded this skin:

C:\Users\Jeffrey\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\TestSkin\Test.ini

Code: Select all

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
FontFace=FarCry
FontSize=25
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=1
Text=ABCDEFG#CRLF#abcdefg

And it worked ok for me...

You sure the font .ttf is in @Resources\Fonts ?
