I am trying to create text stimuli in Snell Roundhand font, but it is not showing as this.
<text quininescript>
/ fontstyle = ("Snell Roundhand", 14pt)
/items = ("quinine")
/ position = (50%, 50%)
</text>
Does anyone have insight as to why this is not working? Thanks.

Thanks. In general, Inquisit can only use fonts that are available on the system. I don't have "Snell Roundhand" on mine, but I do have "SnellRoundhand Script". Using that <text mytext> / items = ("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.") / fontstyle = ("SnellRoundhand Script", 5%, false, true, false, false, 5, 1) </text> yields the expected result:  Note: If you are planning to ultimately run this one the web, choose common fonts that are certain to exist on the target systems. If a given font is not available, Inquisit will have to substitute it (with Arial), i.e. things will not look as intended.

Thank you for your help, I did get it to work (but I do have Snell Roundhand, not Snell Roundhand script- interesting). Two questions- is the 5% height a 14 pt font? Also, I do plan to run this on the web, are there ways for me to test whether or not it will work? I plan to administer using MTurk.

No, 5% is not 14 pt. If you want 14 pt, specify that instead. <text mytext> / items = ("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.") / fontstyle = ("SnellRoundhand Script", 14pt) </text> > Also, I do plan to run this on the web, are there ways for me to test whether or not it will work? There is no way to test this or to guarantee that an uncommon / exotic font is present on a participant's system (which you do not have any control over). Either avoid uncommon fonts / pick only common ones or refrain from displaying <text> stimuli. Instead create images displaying the desired strings in the desired font on your system and use those images as stimuli, i.e. as items of <picture> elements.

Once I save the images, I cannot get Inquisit to read the Sketch file, even if I save it as a jpg. I have attached a sample of my script that I use to test out the code. If I cannot use Sketch, what software is recommended for this? I need to use something more sophisticated than Paintbrush so that I can have control over where I position my text image, so that every image is presented in the same location in the experiment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Sketch. Any simple image editor should work, including - I assume -- Sketch. Alternatively, any presentation program (think: PowerPoint, Open Office Impress) that allows export of presentation slides to images. Beyond that I really can't tell you what's wrong with the JPG generated by Sketch without you sharing at least one such JPG file.
