[open] Problem when changing font

edited February 2013 in OpenSesame

Hi,

I'm trying to use the "Courier" or Courier New" font in a sketchpad or in the general properties of the experiment. When I do, I get the following error when running my script:



KeyError: u'Courier'

Would someone have an idea of how I could change my font, please?

Best,

Comments

    I tried with OS 0.27.1. It's not crashing but the display has problems... (the string displayed is not cleaned but noisy)

    You are probably using the psycho back-end. This ignores the font settings in some cases, for reasons that I haven't completely figured out (it has to do with the font parameter to the TextStim object). One solution would be to use a different back-end, if this is possible.

    I tried with OS 0.27.1. It's not crashing but the display has problems... (the string displayed is not cleaned but noisy)

    Could you be a bit more specific, please? In what sense is the text "noisy"?

    Thanks for your answer.
    I tried to replicate the problem on my home computer but everything was running well (backend psycho, font "Courier New"). I'll try again on Monday...

    I also tried to run my experiment with xpyriment but OS crashes at the very beginning of the experiment...
