What is the name of the default font used with DrawText? I'm loading new fonts but I kind of like the default font and want to use it too.

Could you not simply do:-

SetImageFont someFont
DrawText "Blah",0,0
SetImageFont Null
DrawText "De blah",0,20

?

I could if I knew I could do that!

or
GetImageFont()

it helps to glance over the max2d command set.

I can't use that to change its size though.

right because they are loaded as images. the default font can only be used as the original size. of course, unless you scale them.

I have found it anyway:
BlitzMax\mod\brl.mod\max2d.mod\blitz.fon

good luck with it. LOL
I hope you know it's not a real font and is not loaded as such.

actually I think that the default font is loaded as raw bites and converted into pixmaps I think the file is "font.bin"

it's called blitzfont.bin
