draw_text_diffont() - Draw text with different fonts for numbers

This script takes two fonts, where one is used for the numbers in the text and one for the letters.

I made this script for someone who wanted this feature in their game, and so I thought it could be helpful to others, so thought why not put it out on the internet.

Expand/// draw_text_diffont(x, y, text, numbers_font, letters_font)
//
// Draws text with two different fonts combined: one for numbers and one for letters
//
// x                x position for text
// y                y position for text
// text             text to be drawn
// numbers_font     font used for numbers
// letters_font     font used for letters
//

//Argument vars
var xx = argument0;
var yy = argument1;
var text = argument2;
var n_font = argument3;
var l_font = argument4;

//String length
var str_len = string_length(text);
//Drawn text width
var drawn_w = 0;

for(var i=1; i<=str_len; i++){
    //get current letter
    var letter = string_copy(text, i, 1);
    //set font
    if (string_digits(letter)!=""){
        draw_set_font(n_font);
    }else{
        draw_set_font(l_font);
    }
    //draw letter
    draw_text(xx + drawn_w, yy, letter);
    //increase drawn width
    drawn_w += string_width(letter);
}

Thanks!

Very interesting script. It's not something I would have ever thought of making but I could see this helping somebody.

Thanks for the submission and welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the submission and welcome to the forums.

I don't know how this site works, so I have a question. Is this where the script belongs now, in this thread, or will it be added to the Scripts section of the website?

Thanks.
