I’m having trouble getting boldface monospace output in Glulx. I’m using Glulx Text Effects.
What I have looks right in the Inform 7 “story” tab, and in Gargoyle, but in Quixe it seems to display as the normal font in normal weight. The behavior in Git is also strange.
Here is an example.
[code]Include Glulx Text Effects by Emily Short.
Table of User Styles (continued)
style name fixed width font weight
special-style-1 true bold-weight
every turn:
say “[fixed letter spacing]| regu |[line break]”;
say “[special-style-1]| bold |[line break]”;
say “[normal type]”.[/code]
I’m not sure if this combination just isn’t supported by the interpreters, or if there’s something else I should do.
Or, I guess that wasn’t the immediate question… style hints are deprecated at this point. You can control styles on a web installation by editing the CSS file.
(the font families listed here are the ones that quixe already uses for its monospaced fonts; the web browser you’re using just goes through the list in order until it finds a font it is compatible with, then uses it).
I was thinking, it would be nice for someone to make an html/js page that has drop down menus letting you sample different backgrounds, background colors, and fonts, and then has a ‘publish’ button that gives you the glkote.css file corresponding to your choices.
