Title: Chat Font
Post by: Roanoke on October 25, 2008, 07:25:19 pm

Sorry if this has been discussed, but the font that you see when you type in a message or the font in the console is really bad. It's wide and it's capitals and lowercases are almost identical. I would prefer the font seen when you see someone else's message, or the font for the instructions in the lower left corner.

I think some of the newer clients (TremFusion?) have support for custom fonts. Probably TrueType (extension is .ttf).

Lakitu7 made ttf support for the MG client.
TF has probably ported it over by now.

Its not enabled by default, instructions: http://releases.mercenariesguild.net/client/mg-client-manual.txt
Its about half way down, search for ttf.

TremFusion supports TrueType fonts for the console.

Just put a font.ttf in the base folder and type:
cl_consoleFont "myfont.ttf"

You can change the size and the kerning of it too:
cl_consoleFontSize
cl_consoleFontKerning

For the chat I haven't found anything in TremFusion...

For chat, copy the font to base/fonts/smallfont.ttf, base/fonts/font.ttf and base/fonts/bigfont.ttf
