Author Topic: Including Fonts in Client  (Read 1855 times)

Is there a way to include a font in a Client_Mod?  Preferably w/o the client having to click the font and install it to their C:/Windows/Fonts folder.


nope
Oh well :c

Also, got any favorite fonts that are default?

Wing-dings.

Couldn't you add it to their font cache?

Writing to sequel lite (SQL) or something of that sort.

Yes, it should be possible, although I have yet to see anyone do it successfully. You need to create or find a .GFT font file and then place it in "base/client/ui/cache". A separate GFT file is required for each size. I believe that for fonts available on the client's computer, Blockland will automatically generate the GFT file as needed, while for fonts not on the client's computer you must provide it yourself.

From the small amount of research I just did, GFT is a format that originated in the '80s and was created by Digital Research/DeltaSoft. http://www.deltasoft.com/

I was thinking the cache, where it is made with SQL. But I don't dable in that kind of thing

There is no way for you to do that without hacks or an external database editor
