face=default
brightness=0.8
width=1.2

[default]
file=./big.ttf

r_shadow=0.8
r_shadowblur=1
r_shadowofs=0 0.5 0.5

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/).

  Freetype font face group   

Attributes of font face for freetype font renderer.

Key pair	Description
file=path	Path to .OTF/.TTF font file. Could be relative to respath (if begins with ./) or absolute (from gamedir root).
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.
glyphs=string	Engine font slot. Used to replace fontmaps that was already initialized. Engine will render font pages containing this string chars (others will be rendered on demand).
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.
r_shadow=strength	Outline shadow strength (could be more than 1).
r_shadowblur=strength	Outline shadow blur.
r_shadowofs=x y z	Outline shadow offset. X and Y applied during rendering. Z is applied during blur.
r_charcushion=x	Characters vertical offset in percents (1 - 100%, 0.1 - 10%).
r_charscale=x	Characters uniform scale.

  Glyph font face group   

Attributes of font face for glyph font renderer.

Key pair	Description
respath=path	Absolute path that overrides default font resources path.
glyph=variable	Value is a string of: picture kern left right codes code1 code2 codeX. Kern parmeter is optional. One pic may have many ASCII codes.
