textFont()

Sets the font used by the text() function.

The first parameter, font, sets the font. textFont() recognizes a font object loaded previously with loadFont().

The second parameter, size, is optional. It sets the font size in pixels. This has the same effect as calling textSize().

Examples

textFont example 1

function setup()
  size(100,100)
  background(200)
  font = loadFont('assets/inconsolata.otf')
  textFont(font)
  textSize(24)
  text('hi', 35, 55)

  describe('The text "hi" written in a black, monospace font on a gray background.')
end

textFont example 2

function setup()
  size(100,100)

  textFont(font, 10)

  text('You turn to the left and see a door. Do you enter?', 5, 5, 90, 90)
  text('>', 5, 70)

  describe('A text prompt from a game is written in a green, monospace font on a black background.')
end
