Text fontSize doesn't do anything

[ashes999]

Following the usual nine-part Phaser tutorial on making a platformer, I see code like:

scoreText = game.add.text(16, 16, 'score: 0', { fontSize: '32px', fill: '#000' });

Changing the fontSize property doesn't do anything. I tried multiple values (8px, 72px, etc.) as well as different types ('72px', '72pt', '72', 72, etc.) -- all to no avail.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

I bookmarked the Phaser docs on text styles and refer to them frequently - take a look here: http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Text.html#setStyle

 

What you're looking for is the font property - so your code should look like:

scoreText = game.add.text(16, 16, 'score: 0', { font: '32pt Arial', fill: '#000' });

(assuming you want to use Arial  )
