Font Resources

Fonts are instantiated in the Resources area.

Font Families

The first step in making a font available to text within the SHIP GUI is to import a font file and declare what characters from that font file your GUI needs to have available. SHIPTide understands True Type fonts, normally files with a ".ttf" suffix in most operating systems.

The fontfamilyinfo node in the resources area holds this information. You can add a font family into SHIPTide a number of ways:

  • With the resources node) selected, Add New->fontfamilyinfo}},
  • Use the File->import media wizard
  • Drag a .ttf file from your OS desktop anywhere into SHIPTide

An example fontfamilyinfo node might look like this:
