Load font from filepath

Hi hi!

I want to draw text on screen but from a font that is loaded from a local path rather than being pre-installed the traditional way. The reason being there are several hundred fonts and I want to loop through them. I'm thinking something along the LoadFont method you have in Processing. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Luke

hi @lnp,

the font() command can take a font name OR a path to a font file as argument:

font('myFolder/myFont.ttf')

cheers!

I should've tried that myself. Thank you!
