Re: Start using font

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I think I see where I got misguided. "Start using font" is for desktop. 
The fontnames dictionary entry explains how to include fonts in the Copy 
Files pane in standalone settings. So if the fonts are included in the 
build, I don't need to "start using", they're available automatically.


Which makes me wonder why I'd ever need "start using" at all.

The dictionary says that fonts can only be embedded on desktop apps but I
have a dim memory we could do it on mobile too. Has anyone done that?

In the file manager.  But I'm guessing you knew that.  So I'm guessing I 
don't understand the question.

Changing extention on script only stack

[Greg (Pink) Miller via use-livecode]

I have a script only stack that is the behavior of a stack that i wish to
compile. When I compile it for Windows, I have a .livecodescript file in
the folder. Is it possible to change that extension to .lcs

So far all the shots at this I've taken end up appending .livecode to the
end.

Can this be changed somewhere?

Re: Parent Group of the Target

[prothero--- via use-livecode]

Folks,
It would be very nice if there was a compilation of the various keywords and 
what each refers to. I know I’ve had to scratch my head to find words like the 
element, the target, the owner, the parent, etc. The names seem intuitive at 
some level, but each meaning is very specific and, for me at least, I wouldn’t 
think to call the group an object is in “the owner”.

Best,
Bill

RE: Start using font

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Yes.

There are some lingering font issues from the 1990's (unbelievable).
Sometimes a font families are combined sometime not. And sometimes the name
is slightly different. Here's a function to enumerate all fonts and their
styles.

function FontInfo
   local fnames,fstyles,tlist
   
   put the fontnames into fnames
   sort fnames
   repeat for each line tfnt in fnames
  put "*"&tfnt&cr after tlist
  put the fontstyles(tfnt,0) into  fstyles
  repeat for each line tsty in fstyles
 put space & tsty & cr after tlist
  end repeat
   end repeat
   delete char -1 in tlist
   return tlist
end FontInfo

Does that you don't have to "code/script" to access the fonts?

Just putting them there  (copy files)  makes them available?


Thanks, I was hoping that was the case. So it's a dictionary error. Good.

Try "the owner of the target".  Or, the long id of the owner of the target.  
Hope that helps.

The wonderful “Owner” is the property you’re after, I think.

Hope that is useful.  If it is, possibly my first time!
