Change font?

[Welshymni]

Hi, I'm new to blender so maybe I'm missing something obvious but is there any way to change the font of the stopwatch/timer?

Until 2.8, we couldn't change the font in the text strip. I will look into a way to add that feature.

Hey there, thank you for this script 🙌

Here's how I changed the font (I believe you have to use Blender >=2.8):

1. Add this to the "user preferences" block, line 82

 shadow_color = (0,0,0,1)                   # Default: (0,0,0,1)       
+font_path = "/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/Comic Sans MS.ttf"
+time_font = bpy.data.fonts.load(font_path)

This loads the font and creates a VectorFont that you can assign to the sequence 👇

2. Set the font around line ~170

     seq.sequences[main_seq_name].font_size = time_font_size
+    seq.sequences[main_seq_name].font = time_font
     seq.sequences[main_seq_name].color = time_color
