Reason all that groups exists is that all of them was maked for different tasks. Freetype is best at covering GUI's. ASCII is simple, and Glyph is versatile since it's purely QC-based.

NSX scripts that holds parameters for NetherMenu font draw module.

Example QFONT file:

[qfont]
type=FT
face=default
brightness=0.8
width=1.2

[default]
file=./big.ttf
sizes=38
glyphs=abcdefghijklmnopqrttuvwxyz0123456789
r_shadow=0.8
r_shadowblur=1
r_shadowofs=0 0.5 0.5

[edit] Structure

Key pair Description
[qfont] Should be the first groups of file.
type=x Type of font drawer, each of it has it's advantages and disadvantages:

Possible values:

  • FT - Darkplaces vector fonts using freetype library
  • ASCII - Quake ascii conchars (256 chars on a 16*16 table)
  • GLYPH - QuakeC glyph font renderer (each char is separate picture)
face=string Font face. For freetype and glyph font renderers this is name of group. For Ascii it's a path to conchars texture.
brightness=value Floating point value of brightness scale. 1 is nothing, 0.1 is 10% etc.
scale=x y Two floating point values storing horizontal and vertical scale of font chars.
width=x X component of scale.
height=y Y component of scale.
respath=path Path to font resources. Could be relative (if begins with ./) or absolute (from gamedir). Default is subfolder named as font file (i.e if font file is gfx/myfont.qfont, it's default resources directory will be gfx/myfont/).
