-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hey Oliver I borrowed your method for the OffsetZ which saved me time perfecting it to be the right distance over the players head. We're using it in our mod for Mario Kart Source and you'll receive appropriate credit for it. Thanks.
Dest Romano: The font's you can use are listed in ClientScheme.res. You can get them in ApplySchemeSettings and just do. m_hFont = pScheme->GetFont( "Trebuchet24" ); Or whatever custom font you want just add it to ClientScheme.res and at the bottom is where you link to the filename of the .ttf file. Make sure the name you use for the custom font is the exact same as when you open the font up at the top.
