Editing the menu fonts Created 11 years ago2013-03-18 01:45:33 UTC by Starkey62

Okay, so.. I'm trying to change the font on the main menu but I don't know how to do it. Does anybody here know how? I tried this makefont.exe thing but it didn't change anything.

I'm not 100% sure how to modify the font of things like the "New Game" option, but you can try these tutorials, see if they help.
You may have to modify how you were planning on doing things, but you should be able to get the menu looking how you want it.

I just nearly posted the Source way of doing it. Time to start reading what section people post in.

Anyway, time for the Goldsource way:

You need to find C://...steamapps/<name>/half-life/resource/ClientScheme.res and open it with notepad. Then you can find a few sections like, for example:

	"MenuLarge"
	{
		"1"
		{
			"name"		"Verdana"
			"tall"		"18"
			"weight"	"1000"
			"antialias" "0"
		}
	}

NOTE: This example is the title text font.

And replace Verdana with whatever you want. TrueType font is recommended as I'm not sure with GoldSrc whether or not they need to be. Also not sure if GoldSrc needs to precache fonts.
