Do you know why SetTextFontImage does not work in a function? I define a fontimage as
bell18bold = LoadImage ("bell18bold.png")
and then tries create a new text as
SetTextFontImage(tempid, bell18bold)
inside a function but it is not used. I use the latest beta and Tier1.

Sincerely,
Max Tillberg

Did you declare bell18bold to be a global variable inside the function?

I defined it outside the function and did not manage to define it as global, I thought that all fontimages was global.

Font images are loaded into memory and can be accessed anywhere using the correct image ID. You are assigning the value of that ID to a variable called "bell18bold" which has not been declared as global.

Add this before you load the image:

More often than not it's the simple stuff that trips us all up
