scribble_add_font(fontName, [yyPath], [texture])

Returns: N/A (0)

Argument	Name	Purpose
0	fontName	Name of the font to add, as a string
[1]	[yyPath]	File path for the font's .yy file, including the .yy extension, relative to the font directory defined by scribble_init(). If not specified, Scribble will look in the root of the font directory
[2]	[texture]	Custom texture to use for this font e.g. returned by sprite_get_texture()

Scribble requires that you explicitly initialise fonts for use with Scribble. This is a three-step process:

1. Add a normal GameMaker font resource through the IDE
2. Click the Regenerate button in font dialogue inside the GameMaker IDE, then add the font's .yy file as an Included File (found in the font's folder in the project directory)
3. Call scribble_add_font() targeting the font

Scribble needs to access information that GameMaker generates. All this information is contained in a single .yy file in the font's folder on disk inside the project directory. This file can sometimes be frustrating to locate, but fortunately there's a shortcut we can take. In the IDE, Navigate to the font resource you wish to add and right click on it. From the drop-down menu, select "Show In Explorer". A window will open showing various files for the font resource. You can drag-and-drop the .yy file into the GameMaker IDE to add it as an Included File.

Please note that if you change any font properties then the associated .yy file in Included Files will need to be updated too.
