love.graphics.newFont
love.graphics.newFont
Creates a new Font. Created fonts are not cached, in that calling this function with the same arguments will always create a new Font object.
This function can be slow if it is called repeatedly, such as from love.update or love.draw. If you need to use a specific resource often, create it once and store it somewhere it can be reused!
