Adding Custom Fonts

[willunited]

Replace Font_Name and fontname with your font name (obviously)

In modtext add under Public Font_Georgia As CustomFont:

```
Public Font_Name As CustomFont
```

In Sub EngineInitFontTextures() under

```

' Georgia

NumTextures = NumTextures + 1

ReDim Preserve gTexture(NumTextures)

Font_Georgia.Texture.Texture = NumTextures

Font_Georgia.Texture.filepath = App.Path & FONT_PATH & "georgia.png"

LoadTexture Font_Georgia.Texture

```

add:

```

' Font Name

NumTextures = NumTextures + 1

ReDim Preserve gTexture(NumTextures)

Font_Name.Texture.Texture = NumTextures

Font_Name.Texture.filepath = App.Path & FONT_PATH & "fontname.png"

LoadTexture Font_Name.Texture
```

at Sub UnloadFontTextures() add:

```
UnloadFont Font_Name
```

at Sub EngineInitFontSettings() add:

```
LoadFontHeader Font_Name, "fontname.dat"
```
