Being able to render custom fonts is proof *something* is stored in the EXE.
And the fact that the font smoothing isn't anything like Windows' |

That's when decryption is done and trees are generated.

I'm not sure why that's the case. Maybe he does the smoothing himself. O_o

It still could be done during the loading screen. |

I have to put my vote towards doing it in the loading screen, or when draw_text is called, not upon building the .exe, because if the font is not on your computer, Game Maker uses the default font.
...are you suggesting that this should be done in ENIGMA? ENIGMA won't have a loading screen; it's compiled, and will start instantly. Unless you mean that you think that GM does it that way. |

GM's loading screen cannot be eliminated by compilation. What on earth gave you that idea? The fact that at present, ENIGMA doesn't have one. Most things that compile in ENIGMA have presently not been big enough to have a noticeable load time, so no one has really missed a loading bar. That will likely change in the future, so I'll have to install one that's on by default. Click the Clown should never require a loading bar. <_<" And no, Game Maker uses the font the game was compiled with, whether it exists on the new computer or not. |

When testing on your laptop, did you run from an executable or an editable?

The GM6 doesn't store font glyphs as bitmap, they store it by font name. EXE stores the bitmaps.
