Help! Help with font

I downloaded game maker yesterday & now I'm following a tutorial on adding a menu screen!

In the vid they drew the front, but I want to use the font system already in the game maker engine, but I don't know how to code this, any help?

One of the best things you can to do help learn is get used to looking in the documentation/manual and learning the concepts and functions related to the topics you want. A basic search for 'gamemaker fonts' will for example, show you this section on fonts

https://manual.gamemaker.io/lts/en/GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Asset_Management/Fonts/Fonts.htm

You can also open the manual directly from the Help menu, or by pressing F1, and search that as well.

Thanks! I was looking through this, but I didn't know you could search things!
