font_get_fontname

With this function you can get the actual system name of the given font asset. This function returns a string and not an index, and the name returned will depend on the font being used. For example, you may have a font asset called "fnt_Main" in the Asset Browser, and the font itself may be the Windows system font Arial. In this case the function will return "Arial" as that is the system name of the font. If you need the name that appears in the Asset Browser, use font_get_name().

The behaviour described above only applies to font assets added through the IDE. When used on a font loaded at runtime (using font_add()), the function will return the full path to that font file instead of its font name.

Syntax:

font_get_fontname(ind);

Returns:

String

Example:

fnt_Name = font_get_fontname(font0);

The above code will get the system name of a font resource and store it as a string in the variable "fnt_Name".
