This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.

Pretty self explanatory. Can we please have custom fonts for maptext without needing an install of the font OR installing the customized fonts in the game resource on the clients machine at run time?

Super Saiyan X	How would this even be possible? The fonts have to be somewhere everyone's client can access it for it to be loaded in the game

FIREking	Including the file with resource. There's a difference in including the file with the client, and having to install the font. I just found out though, that I don't think the font needs to be install. I meant to delete this post.

Stephen001	No problem, these things happen! From your other topic on maptext, you were getting a lot of conflicting answers about how this is handled, so it's no surprise you were confused.
