Text and Font Customisation

You can now customise the colours, fonts and font sizes on-the-fly without hard-coding it into the engine itself. This means you can change these options, even while in the game. Using the below in-built functions, you can execute this in the Game Event code field using a callEvent(id);, or in the Passage's text field.

Known Font names:

1. "main" - This is assigned to the Regular Open Sans font.
2. "main-bold" - This is assigned to the Bold Open Sans font.
3. "main-italic" - This is assigned to the Italic Open Sans font.
4. "main-bolditalic" - This is assigned to the Bold and Italic Open Sans font.
