Question / Help CSS Font Family on Text GDI+

[Aerocles]

hello! I am running into a problem of sorts. I have custom CSS for an HTML file (as a Text GDI+ source), and the css editor works fine. However, when I do the same with just a regular .txt file (as a Text GDI+ source), the css font family specifically does not change. All other CSS commands function, just not the font family.


I've found that I could use the .txt file as a browser source, but I cannot then edit the text file with CSS in OBS.


Has anyone experienced this issue or know how to fix it?

Someone there seems to indicate that font-family CSS tag in GDI+ can only be used to select fonts from the Microsoft font validator-- meaning if you're trying to load one you've installed yourself, that may not work.

Does font-family not work at all, or does it work if you use it to select families installed by default?

So I tried using Calibri, Times New Roman, Arial even, none of them work specifically for .txt files.

Whats weird is that they DO work for the .html files (and js as well). I havent had any problems for any fonts, default or otherwise with html files.

I guess the easy work around would be to try and figure out how to embed the txt file(s) into a an html file. But then that ultimately avoids fixing the problem because someone may come along and not want to do that (its a bit complex for beginners).

I do want it noted I am using the latest release of OBS 24.
