FontType Label.Font;

Gets/sets the font used to display the label's text. This is useful if you have a standard SCI font for your English version, but want to change to a TTF font for foreign language versions.

Example:

if (IsTranslationAvailable()) {
  lblStatus.Font = eFontForeign;
}

will change label 'lblStatus' to use font “Foreign” if a game translation is in use.

lblStatus.Text = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);

will display the name of the location the cursor is over on label 'lblStatus'

Gets/sets the text colour used to display the label's text.
