I'm trying to load a custom font from a .ttf file into my Python program using the Arcade library, like so: arcade.load_font("Assets/Fonts/CopperplateGothic.ttf") self.actionsLabel = arcade.Text("Actions", font_name="CopperplateGothicStd-32BC", color=highlightColour, font_size=32, x=0, y=buttonY+buttonHeight+20, batch=self.headingTexts) print(self.actionsLabel.font_name) The call to arcade.load_font doesn't produce an exception, so the font appears to be loaded correctly. However, the font isn't actually used when displaying the self.actionsLabel. I've tried these values for font_name in the arcade.Text constructor: The name as shown in the Windows font viewer, "Copperplate Std 32 BC" (this is also how the font appears in the font selector in other programs). The name as shown in the properties of the font file, "CopperplateGothicStd-32BC" The filename, with and without the extension. But none of these work; the text simply appears in a fallback font (Segoe UI). However, using the name "MS Comic Sans" chooses that font, as expected, so the problem must be somewhere else. I also tried converting the font file to OpenType first, to no avail. How can I use a font that I've loaded explicitly in the code, rather than one pre-installed in the system? Continue reading...
