Hi GMC!

I've made a few fonts, and wanted to make specific things have their own font.

For example, I wanted the HUD to have it's own font, and I wanted the pop message that comes out every once in a while to have a different font, but they all work using the same font (font0), I write draw_set_font(font0) in one, and draw_set_font(font1) in the other, but to no avail, it doesn't seem to work.

How can I assign the font I desire to the speech or HUD or whatever it is that I want to assign it to?

As always, thanks for the help.

draw_set_font(font0) should work.
Maybe check if your font is not set to Arial (default)

They are both different fonts and not the standard default one.

I think it's worth noting that I wrote both font codes, draw_set_font(font0) and draw_set_font(font1), each one in the object that I wanted the fonts to be specified to.

Was that the correct course of action? What is it that I'm missing?

You should put that in the draw event, just before where you start drawing the text.

Like this:

//Draw Event (controller object?)

draw_set_font(font0);
draw_text(x, y, "Drawing with font0");
//Draw HUD?

draw_set_font(font1);
//Draw other things using font1

very simple to assign a font,simply

Draw event

>>>>set font
>>>>draw text
>>>>set font
>>>>draw text

you can also put it in other events ,but better put it in draw event,cause that's also where you draw texts.
