Nice, that actually works.

What's odd is that after some period of time it still halts with the 
error "gb.sdl error: Couldn't open 
/usr/local/share/gambas3/gb.sdl/DejaVuSans.ttf in Render 834". I checked 
the value of Draw.Font after the crash and it reports the Name property 
as being "DejaVuSans.ttf", even though I've only been setting it to 
"Avatar.ttf". I changed the line to this:

If Draw.Font.Name <> "Avatar.ttf" Then Draw.Font = 
Draw.Font.Load("/home/kevinfishburne/Desktop/Sanctimonia, 
Server/Images/Font/Avatar.ttf")

and it still crashes. Somehow Draw.Font.Name is being reset to 
"DejaVuSans.ttf". I searched the entire project for "Draw.Font" and 
nothing else is modifying it. Sounds like a bug. I'm using revision 4229.
