Create Font tool not creating the Roboto Thin version

edited August 2014 in Using Processing

Hi, In my design I am using different versions of Roboto font. I need Thin, Regular and Medium. But when I use the Create Font tool, it creates all the VLW files which look the same. The fonts on my system are TTF fonts.

I am using Mac OS, Processing 2.2.1.

Any suggestions on what I can do to overcome this problem?

    Put the TTF files in the data folder and use createFont() instead? Would be of better quality at various sizes, anyway.

    Note that you don't need to copy the TTF files if that sketch is to be run only on your computer: Processing is happy to get system fonts, if you get their name right (as listed by PFont.list()).

    The copy is necessary if you want to display text with exact fonts, on any system, with or without these fonts installed.
