Just wondering how Scratch handles fonts... When you use one that's on your system, does it get embedded into the project, and thus display as intended elsewhere? Or does it get bitmapped? Or does it not get saved along with the project at all, so best not to use uncommon fonts?

Thanks! smile

I wonder too. When someone used a font that you don't have ina project you download, it displays fine. When you open the paint editor, it displays fine. When you click the text button, it switches to a default font...

I think that Scratch turns the font into an image, but it has a special tag-ish thinghy that tells Scratch that it is a font. So it can display it fine... until you edit it.

Yeah, that's pretty weird... I think I'll stick to making my text objects in another app for now.

At least, in the next version of Scratch, font's should be embedded...

So this ought to be in "suggestions", now, eh?
