How to change font size

[Slastraf]

--Create the graphics context

context=Context:Create(window,0)

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/SOTRD.ttf",36)

context:SetFont(font)

context:SetScale(1,1)

if context==nil then return end

 

I have this in my main.lua but how do I now change the font size ?

when I change the Context Scale it changes the window , too but I only want to change the font size

Font:Load("Fonts/arial.ttf",36)

Basically either load another/same font at a different size and set the context's font with it or you can set the scale of the context to change the size of an existing loaded font. Note that scaling up a font alot usually cause loss of definition on the text shape.

 

window = Window:Create()

context = Context:Create(window)

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",36)

local font2 = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",72)

context:SetFont(font)

local x = 50

local y = 50

while window:KeyDown(Key.Escape)==false do

context:SetColor(0,0,0)

context:Clear()

 

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

context:SetColor(1,1,1)

context:DrawText("Arial 36 1x1 scale",x,y)

context:SetScale(2,2)

context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)

context:DrawText("Arial 36 2x2 scale",x+50,y+50)

context:SetScale(1,1)

context:SetColor(0,1,0,1)

context:SetFont(font2)

context:DrawText("Arial 72 1x1 scale" ,x+150,y+150)

context:SetFont(font)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

 

context:Sync()

end

Also context scaling breaks some of the 2d draw commands
