r_shadowblur=1
r_shadowofs=0 0.5 0.5

Structure

[qfont] group

Should be the first groups of file, it sets font drawer and face group.

Key	Value	Description
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	Path to the font face group.
brightness	value	Floating point value of brightness scale. 1 is nothing, 0.1 is 10% etc. Applies to all renderer types.
slot	slotname	Engine font slot. Used to replace fontmaps that was already initialized. Darkplaces engine have this fixed slots: default, console, sbar, notify, chat, centerprint, infobar, menu, user0, user1, user2, user3, user4, user5, user6, user7.

r_antialias	0/1	Toggles antialiasing for font pages renderer.
r_hinting	0/1/2/3	Toggles hinting for font pages renderer. 0 - no hinting, 1 - light autohintinh, 2 - full autohinting, 3 - full hinting.
