ola,

it's a limitation here, as we use the imlib library that lets sets the font only globally in your application with :

imlib_context_set_font( font );

i don't know any workaround for it.

How about storing a different 'font' in each instance of 'pdp_text'

this is already the case

and calling imlib_context_set_font() every time just before drawing text?

yeh that could be done, but maybe it's a little bit heavy? i can try

cheers, sevy

Or would that be too inefficient?
