Changing fonts and sizes
#1

There's been a bit of interest in Fly_zo's Winter Gui thread about changing fonts and sizes, so here's a bit of a tutorial on how I did it.

Firstly let me say this is not my idea, I found the information elsewhere - there is also a thread in this forum but the link in it is dead;

The font I used on this is SCRIPTBL.TTF - you can get it from http://www.fontonic.com/download.asp?id=5076

This is what I did;

1. Create folder called font under il2root/Files folder - structure looks like il2root/Files/font

2. Using the sfs extractor open files.sfs and extract these 5 files to a temporary folder - arial8.font, arialb8.font, arial10.font, arialb10.font, and arialb12.font

3. Copy or move those 5 files from your temporary folder to your il2root/Files/font folder

4. Once you have downloaded the font file you want to use (in this case, SCRIPTBL.TTF) copy or move it to the font folder.

5. At least 3 font files now need to be edited (the 2 arial8.font files control the FMB menu and I didn't change them, you can if you wish) - Open arial10.font in Notepad/Wordpad and you will see something like this;
