How to put two texts with two different sizes?

Hi

How to put two texts with two different sizes?
If I put two fonts with 2 different sizes it does not work !

Code: Select all

local fontTitre1
local fontTitre2
fontTitre1 = love.graphics.newFont(100)
  love.graphics.setFont(fontTitre1)
  fontTitre2 = love.graphics.newFont(50)
  love.graphics.setFont(fontTitre2)

[/code]

Thank you

You need to print them. Make variables in love.load() function, and set fonts before printing:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	font1 = love.graphics.newFont(50)
	font2 = love.graphics.newFont(100)
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setFont(font1)
	love.graphics.print("Some text with font1", 10, 10)
	love.graphics.setFont(font2)
	love.graphics.print("Some text with font2", 10, 100)
end

Alternatively, if the only thing you change is the size of the fonts, you can use setNewFont.

Code: Select all

funtion love.draw()
	love.graphics.setNewFont(50)
	love.graphics.print("Some text", 10, 10)
	love.graphics.setNewFont(100)
	love.graphics.print("Some other text", 10, 100)
end

Do NOT use love.graphics.setNewFont like that. It will quickly cause performance issues. Please read the wiki about that.

Sorry, yeah, that's right. I just wanted to show the alternate method, but I should've said that.

EDIT: It probably wouldn't matter if you don't have a lot of things going on in love.draw(), but when a game gets bigger, it can be a problem.

It's not only about processing speed, but the amount of garbage it creates in memory. Well, probably.

I didn't know that. Thanks!
