Post-compo fix attempts: Gamemaker 1 – me 0
December 28th, 2011 8:55 amSo it looks like drawing the characters to a surface, then blitting that to the screen on every draw would be the way to go for sprite fonts in GameMaker.
This is the story of what happens when I do just that on my Final Score screen.

Beginning to think just rewriting the thing entirely in Unity or pygame would be better for my sanity. Beginning to think that GM4Mac is just a wee bit broken.
Technically, I guess, it IS drawing the font sprites…
