id: font-load name: Font.load category: font kind: namespace-method tokens: Font.load sig: Font.load(path: p) -> int tip: Load a TrueType font; returns a font handle. order: 1 ns: Font member: load

Loads a TrueType font file and returns its handle. Load it before Ui.build so the menus can measure their text; the handle is what a ui block's font: reads.

# doc-check: skip — illustrative
state Menu { font: int = 0 }
handler Boot(menu: mut Menu) phase Start {
  menu.font = Font.load(path: "assets/fonts/PixelOperator.ttf")
  Ui.build()
}
