I have sucessfully loaded the font i wanted but it looks terrible.

Here is a screen of what i mean.


Does Blitz have something aganst AA'ing the fonts? I set them to smooth upon loading...

do you have
setblend AlphaBlend
in the code?


Ryan Burnside(Posted 2006) [#3]
No, that cleared it right up! It seems bizzare to need that bit of code, could you please explain why it's necessary?

when the font is loaded in it's converted to a bitmap with smoothed edges. The smoothed edges only show with AlphaBlend otherwise there is no transparency, just jagged pixels.
