Is this what you are after?
@colander it didn't work. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9abg9i&s=8 . What I'm trying to achieve is a count down timer start from 15 but in custom font
@http_gamesalad Try constraining self.image to the following in the image below. Use self.time or any other attribute in place of game.countby and the self.div is an attribute placed in each of the number images. The div is used to make the numbers work with digits over 9. In the number to the far right make the div 10 and the other one make it 100. Another thing you may want to check is that your images have the correct file names. In order for this to work, the images much be named with what they represent. (EX. 1.png 2.png...)
We have a free timer on DBA with custom font, you could edit as required.
