Hello there! I was trying to set a font to my text on Greenfoot like 
txt.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 12));
and it shows an error like
Incompatible types: java.awt.Font cannot be converted into greenfoot.Font
what am I doing wrong here. Thank you for your answer in advance!

I assume your txt field holds a GreenfootImage object. The setFont method of the GreenfootImage class requires a greenfoot.Font object, not a java.awt.Font object.

GreenfootImage txt = new GreenfootImage(x, y);
        txt = new GreenfootImage("...",80, new Color(17, 17 ,17), new  Color(255,100,100,0));
        setRotation(90);
        txt.setFont(new Font("Helvetica",  12));
        img.drawImage(txt, 0, 0);
        
        setImage(img);
this is all I have and i did not import anything else except greenfoot.*; but seems it is not working

You are creating the image with the text, so it is already drawn before you set any font. The drawImage line (line 5) only copies the txt image, as is, onto your img image, whatever it is. The set font is not involved with it. You should instead be creating an image of given size, large enough to contain the ellipsis (using the GreenfootImage(int width, int height) constructor, and then (1) set fill color and fill; (2) set text color and font to use drawString to apply the "..." to the image; (3) set image to actor.
