Can't seem to change image font color -- 0.72

[chute]

Hi guys. I am having a problem with image fonts. the font works just fine, but it only shows up in one color (the color that's in the image).

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.setFont(font.cards) -- this is an image font
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255) -- white
love.graphics.print("234", 200, 208)
love.graphics.setColor(255,0,0,255) -- red
love.graphics.print("567", 200, 240)
love.graphics.setFont(font.medium) -- this is a plain ttf
love.graphics.print("normal text", 200,275)

I've tried both colormodes...
here is default

here is replace

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is your image font black? Black + any color = black...

Is your image font black? Black + any color = black...

black * any color = black makes more sense, since multiplying by 0 = 0.

Well yeah. Right.

I was being lazy, using mathematics symbols to avoid typing english words, but this was a bad context to be lazy in that way.
