I thought I'd solved this issue, but on closer inspection of the font in some games I've been looking at, I see that the one I'm using is merely of the same family, but not the exact font.

It's part of the Courier family, and is listed in the game's code as: 'Special Elite', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace.

Oddly, the 'body' font for this game is set to: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.

I've tried changing the font code in my game to 'Special Elite', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace, but when I run, it's still using the standard Courier.

Anyway, below is a screengrab of the font, and a link to the game that uses it.

Have you tried SetWebFontName ("web font name") (assuming you can identify the web font name? It looks like a typewriter simulation font, rather than standard courier family.

There is a "Special Elite" Google web font (you can find it in the drop-down list in Quest). That might be it.

The page for it is here: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Special+Elite

but if you can select it in the Quest GUI, it will be easier.

Looking at where the font came from in that sample game, it looks like the Quest "Typewriter" theme uses it, and that's what the game is using. So Watcher55 was right on about that.

So you either select the theme or the font, depending on how much you want (the entire theme or just the font).

Thanks

Sorry for being such an idiot, but where do I select if from? It's in neither of the dropdowns

game object -> Display tab -> Font section -> Web font -> choose Special Elite.

Right. I can't confirm at the mo, cos I'm still posting from. My phone, but that's what I mean when I say it's not in either Base font or Web font dropdowns.

It's here for me, if that helps:

Thanks, I'll let you know if I ever get back online

Yup! It's there and works. Couldn't see it for looking!

Great!
