CustomFonts

General

Installing and importing a custom font in the ADK to be used in Widgets of your mod.

Installing the Font on your Operating System

To Import a font to the ADK, you first need to find and install it on your Operating System if you don't have it already installed, which is an easy task.

Installing a font:

1. Find a font which you like (in this example I will use the website http://www.1001fonts.com). - see Screenshot #1

   1. Make sure the license of the font is compatible with your need.
   2. Test if the font supports all the characters you will be using in your mode (this won't be an issue with English characters, but for other languages which have some additional or full different characters in the alphabet).
2. Download the font.
3. Locate the downloaded font files (.otf or .ttf). - see Screenshot #2

4. Open the font file you want to use and select "install" to install it on your Operating System.

Importing the Font to ADK

Next step is to create a font object inside the ADK and import the installed font.

Importing a font:

1. Inside ADK, Content Browser, open your Mod folder and for organization you can create a sub folder "Fonts" inside it and open that sub folder.
2. Select "New" or Right Click somewhere in the empty "Fonts" folder, choose "Materials & Textures" > "Font". - see Screenshot #3
