Thanks for the reply Tony but I think I may have gotten it figured out.
I think the problem was that the name of the .ttf file and the actual
name of the font were different and I didn't realize it until now. I got
my icon in-game and think everything is looking pretty good now.
However, you never know what will go wrong next so it's completely
possible you'll be hearing from me again, ha ha. Thanks a lot for your
help guys, I really do appreciate it.
