Create Font
Hello everybody, In the SDK, there is this example : fontReg.Register("pkg:/fonts/LCDMono.ttf") font = fontReg.Get("LCDMono",36,50,false) ' 36pt, 50 is normal weight, no italics I suppose...

Thank you.
In my code I do something like this:
frg = CreateObject("roFontRegistry")
frg.Register("pkg:/fonts/myfont.ttf")
fonts = frg.GetFamilies()
font = frg.GetFont(fonts[0], 32, false, false)
bmp.DrawText("My Text", 0, 0, &h000000FF, font)
Hope that helps. Note that this pulls the first font variation. Some fonts will have multiple variations (i.e. condensed). It looks like the mistake in your code is that you are trying to use an roFontRegistry object in the place of an roFont object in your DrawText function.
