JA New Fonts


Recommended Posts

It depends on what you're replacing.

Console font uses charsgrid_med.tga while other fonts use fonts in /fonts/. See JAFont with how to make these.

and yes, new actual fonts (not just replacements) require code editing

The best way to go about it would be to use JAFont, as @@eezstreet suggested. There are directions of usage in the file's description. All you've gotta do is find a font you like, download it, and convert it. I believe "anewhope" is the menu font, so replace that in the Fonts folder. Fonts are just an image that the game subdivides (I think). So JAFont can easily pop a new font out for you in a jiffy.

Not quite. It's a .png and a .fontdat, and the .fontdat contains information about how the game subdivides the image used for the font.

I already tried that using free fonts it didn't work. I also used renegade's font .pk3 file for comparison. The main reason I stopped using Renegade's font was when I connected to jka servers i couldn't read anything. The regular font from jka and the other font were blurred together in an unreadable mess. I will try the font tool again.

It's due to joining a ja+ server before loading it in the menu, so fonts and animations can get messed up. Putting the font mod in your japlus folder as well should fix it.

That's where I put it in the japlus folder. It usually works but there are times when i have a lot in my japlus and base folder and its fine when i start my own LAN server or browse the menu but when I connect its all messed up.
