Changing the look of the text
Subject description: I know it's possible...
I found out in a YouTube video that you can change the look, or font, of the text in RA2YR using Ares. How to do? _________________ "I'm grade-A, 100%, prime-cut final boss! I'm going to take over the world any day now!"

Well, use OPEN SOURCE FONT EDITOR!!! It's pretty obvious, duh...
And It's a topic in the Ares Documents that comes bundled with your download... I think
Well, Ares pretty much let's you do nearly all Hardcoded stuff, so explore it's limitations man... _________________ all my posts before 2020 were made by a 13 year-old, forgive these if you see any, thank you QUICK_EDIT
One downside is that the OS Font Editor can't export the fonts to formats readable by other devices (Arial 8 Bold comes close enough though, to the font displayed on loading screens), but that shouldn't matter for your purposes. So yes, here you go: https://ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=14081 QUICK_EDIT

Thanks. I never knew this was a thing. I guess I'm just too much of a newbie. _________________ "I'm grade-A, 100%, prime-cut final boss! I'm going to take over the world any day now!"

New question: Where can I find that one font which is used in Mental Omega 2.0? Is that a different forum topic too? _________________ "I'm grade-A, 100%, prime-cut final boss! I'm going to take over the world any day now!"

MO2 used a beta font which is there in the RA2 mixes (also AR2 used that one IIRC). Look it up yourself - I don't remember the filename -, Mixer can tell if you find a valid font file. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

There are tens of thousands of fonts you could use, so why do you want one exactly the same as MO..?
Because one, I like it , and two, it's common amongst mods.
