Post subject:  Quotation Marks in GFX Font
Is there a way to include both single quotes (') and double quotes (") in a gfx font? I haven't played around too much with it, but I couldn't get the double quotes in, even when trying to escape it.

If I can't come up with anything, I plan on using two single quotes for the double quotes as a workaround.

Mmmmh...it should work simply escaping chars that could break the strings.
This works for me:

Code:
pic = loadimage("numbers.png")
font = loadgfxfont(pic, "0123456789.-|\"'", 3)

function onmainloop()
        drawgfxtext(font,50,50,"\"'",255,255,255)
end

Great, thanks!

I think I was hesitant to try it because the IDE doesn't show the escaped character as being escaped. In other words, the highlighting for the string stops at the second quote even though it is escaped.
