In Arcade, I am attempting to make a RPG kind of game, and I am unsatisfied with the Dialog-Font of the `show long text` block, which prompts a dialog, showing the specified string.
Is there any way to change the font of `show long text`, or is that not possible?
Any help is appreciated! 🙂

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible right now. We automatically determine the font based on the input string so that we can pick a font that supports the language of the string.
There are three fonts baked into Arcade that you can access from the JavaScript. `image.font8` is the one we use for most English strings, `image.font12` is used for langauges with larger character sizes (Chinese, Japanese, etc.), and `image.font5` is a font cloned from the one we use on [makecode.microbit.org](http://makecode.microbit.org)
