Does anybody know if it is possible to use a font that isn't a standard one (Calibri, Arial, etc.) I am making a Flappy Bird game and want to change the font of the counter to the original flappy bird font.
Thanks on forward.

There is probably a round-about way to set up a non-standard character set; but, that is beyond me at the moment. What you could do is create image(s) (in the font wanted) of the words used on the counter and an image for each of the digits. Then, have your counter class use those images to create the effect you want.
My game which use custom font
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FontFormatException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import greenfoot.GreenfootImage;
