Hi, I know you can use draw_set_font() to set the font to be used, but is there a way to know which font is currently being used? Something like draw_get_font() ?

Not that I'm aware.

Each time you change the font, you could set a separate variable to the same value and use that for your checks. Simple example:

//when you change the font
draw_set_font(fnt_1);
font_current = fnt_1;

//when you want to check the font
if font_current = fnt_1
{
    ...
}

Yeah, I'll be using that workaround, thanks. It seems like a flaw in Game Maker not to have that, though. Do you think it would be possible through an extension?

Good idea, Blake.

Not sure about extensions (I never really used 'em) but certainly you could make your own script.

my_draw_set_font()
my_draw_get_font();

your checker variable would be embedded inside those functions.
