CS Font Style?

v3x · **Author**

Hmm... I'm always seeing that in some person's screenshots that the font doesn't appear to have the "bold" style to it. How do they do that? o.O

go to http://files.filefront.com/I+Love+St.../fileinfo.html
and make any skin......
then export it to steam....
then go to
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\skins\skin name\Resource
and open TrackerScheme.RES with notepad.....
and find this part...

Code:

//
//////////////////////// FONTS /////////////////////////////
//
// describes all the fonts
Fonts
{
// fonts are used in order that they are listed
// fonts listed later in the order will only be used if they fulfill a range not already filled
// if a font fails to load then the subsequent fonts will replace

and edit the engine fonts to watever u want.......
im pretty sure thats how they do it.....
its the only way i could figure out how to.......
EDIT....
Okay i think i got it right now....
only after 5 edits.......

@Extremeone:
I was refering to font in this screenshot:

My font is thicker/bolder than that, unless they used a different method of saving the image that caused the font to appear like that, I dunno.

It's pre-Steam text, my guess it that it is an old screenshot. If you can find a screenshot of post-Steam content with that text let me know.
