Okay, that I understand. But why do you want to do that? What effect do you want to achieve? Do you need a resizeable textbox? Um, long text will be out of textbox(with a fixed size) if without word wrap, anyway it can build a function for the problem so doesn't matter anymore, it may be better but...

Building newFormatTextObject dircetly function eg. function love.graphics.newFText(cfont,ctext,textObjectName) textObjectName=love.graphics.newText(cfont,tostring(ctext)) textObjectName:setf(tostring(ctext),500,"left") return textObjectName end nn2=love.graphics.newFText(font,temp1,nn2) fu...

always reports: main.lua:4: bad argument #3 to 'setf' (string expected, got nil)

If you take a look at the wiki entry for Text:setf : You need to give the function three parameters: I added 3rd parameter (I deleted it before post problem on forum because I saw it still reports same error.) I tried it again in past seconds and still reports....ok, a little difference, it reports...
