Custom fonts are the fonts that you have on your computer. I want to have custom fonts on Scratch 2.0 because Scratch 1.4 had the ability to do them.

type text [] at x: (0) y: (0) alignment: [left v] custom font: [Arial] color: [#000000]

<custom font [Arial]?>

(string [] in font [custom font v])

(string [] in font [custom font v] :: #111111 )

I have an idea for blocks representing font. There should be a data file that mentions all the letters in your custom font.

There should be a section in the editor called “fonts”, where you can upload your own fonts. The result will be a list of all the letters in their custom fonts. Now of course, I don't know how this making of the font will work, but I'm sure an engine like this has existed.

Then you can use this reporter block:

(string [] in font [custom font v] :: #111111 )

It reports any data such as answer or variable in a certain font. It could be also used for pen text blocks and for adding text in the costume/backdrop editor, when you use the font dropdown and it has your custom font there.

<variable [variable v] is in font [custom font v]? :: variables >

<answer is in font [custom font v]? :: sensing >

<list [list v] contains text in font [custom font v]? :: list >

<item (1 v) of list [list v] uses font [custom font v]? :: list >

ask [] and wait, use font [custom font v]for the answer :: sensing

<string [] uses font [custom font v]? :: operators >

set [ font v] effect to (Papyrus)

Personally, I would be content if the Scratch Team added Papyrus, Agency FB (MY FAVORITE FONT AND IT'S USED IN BO2), and Futura (the font used in Skyrim, if you are not familiar with this font). Times New Roman is not needed as it looks identical to Donegal, and Comic Sans would not be used very frequently.

What if the scratch team added the ability to import fonts (such as .ttf, otf, and whatever window uses) such as how you import sprites from your desktop, but each character is saves as a vector image inside that sprite. That could make it so no matter who's viewing your project, with simple code you can make them appear-

forever
clear
display text [Hello] at (50)(-30)(2)(1.1)(90)
end
define display text (text) at (x)(y)(displaySize)(spacing)(rotation)
go to x: (x) y: (y)
point in direction (rotation)
set size to (displaySize) %
set [counter v] to [1]
repeat (length of (text))
switch costume to (letter (counter) of (text))
stamp
move ((displaySize) * (spacing)) steps
change [counter v] by (1)
end

If you don't like using the “move” block

define display text (text) at (x)(y)(displaySize)(spacing)(rotation)
go to x: (x) y: (y)
point in direction (rotation)
set size to (displaySize) %
set [counter v] to [1]
repeat (length of (text))
switch costume to (letter (counter) of (text))
stamp
change x by (([sin v] of (rotation)) * ((displaySize) * (spacing)))
change y by (([sin v] of (rotation)) * ((displaySize) * (spacing)))
change [counter v] by (1)
end

Its a nice alternative to adding more fonts that might not even be possible, but might as well try.
