Can you use a custom font across systems that don't have it downloaded?

Ruby Magatama

Hey everyone! Just a relatively simple question this time.

So, I want to use a custom font that someone else made, but obviously it's not a font that's normally installed on most computers. Is there some way to pack that particular font into the game itself so it appears the same across all version and systems? Or is that just not feasible?

Thanks for any and all answers! Sorry if this is incoherent.

Ahhhhh nevermind, I figured it out! For those that might be curious:

Just go to Story on the top bar and click on Import Font. Then import the font into this build of the story, and you should be good! As long as you implement it into the CSS, which looks something like

font-family: [Insert font name here];

Easy!

And where do you put this piece of code? If you want to apply it to the entire story?

Whereever the css defines the font to be used, which is usually body. If you don't know how to alter css in Twine, the documentation for whatever story format you're using should tell you.

That is, in the StoryFormat passage.

Right, I'll look there.
