why wont my custom font load?

LOAD "GRPF:DEPTHSFONT",0

im not sure why but this doesnt load my font to be used in my game. is loading your own font more complicated?

Please use our search feature for simple questions; chances are someone has asked it before. Anyhow, I can't see anything wrong. Make sure the font is in the same project folder, actually exists under that name, and that line is actually run.

Also make sure that ACLS isn't directly after the LOAD statement, or set ACLS to not clear the font. (look at the in-game help for ACLS for how to do so)
