Thanks for the suggestion but font.name returns the actual name of the font (e.g. Times New Roman) whereas LoadImageFont() requires the file path of the font, i.e. C:\Windows\Fonts\times.ttf [I think] . I suppose I could just use a pre-determined list but seeing as the program I'm making has to be cross-platform, it would require a lot of lines to add the standard font set and more for each OS.
