In Bplus you can load a Reuqested font for a canvas with LoadFont and the data (FontName, FontSize) from the RequestedFont.
But in Bmax I can´t see a way to load an ImageFont by the Name (FontName, FontSize) of the requested Font.

Look at this

		Case EVENT_MOUSEDOWN
		
			Local TempFont:TGUiFont = RequestFont()
			
			If TempFont
				Local FontPath:String = "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts"+FontName(TempFont)+".ttf"
				Local ImageFont:TImageFont = LoadImageFont(FontPath, FontSize(TempFont))
				Print "Font Path: "+FontPath
				If ImageFont
					Print "ImageFont loaded"
					SetImageFont ImageFont
				EndIf
				
			EndIf


It´s a bad solution and he can find only the Arial font..
