Remove line 2 and change 'Font.PLAIN' to 'false, false'. Greenfoot uses its own Font class now.

It still doesn't like the "setFont" method. What is missing here?

You cannot set the font of an actor (your DeathScreen actor, in this case). A GreenfootImage object is what that action can be performed on. Use the 'getImage' method on the actor to get the image to set the font on. However, this will not change the image in itself. The text was already placed on the image using a default font when you created the image. The 'setFont' method only changes how text is subsequently drawn on the image.

Create an image. Set a font and then, draw a string on the object. You can not use this constructor when you don't want the default font.

GreenfootImage img = new GreenfootImage(500, 100);
img.setColor(Color.BLACK);
img.fill();
img.setColor(Color.RED);
img.setFont(new Font("OptimusPrinceps", false, false , 100));
img.drawString("YOU DIED", 10, 90);
setImage(img);

The 100 in line 5 is the font size.
