Garry's Mod

H0L-D4: Holographic Heads Up Display
Tutorial on how to add custom fonts.
I included a D Disk drive only for people who have another local disk for storage reasons.

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cache\workshop\resource\fonts

C:\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cache\workshop\resource\fonts

This is where you put your fonts.

I put my font in the specified pathing, but nothing has happened after restarting the game to make sure it took effect. Is there another step I'm missing? It's a .ttf file like what would be needed, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Have you tried inputting these new fonts it in the H0L-D4 font customisation? (Some fonts may work. But trust it me, it works for me.)

Sorry. But this only for mods like customizable huds only.

Wait, so, HOL-D4 *doesn't* let you customize the font despite showing that it can??? I'm confused now.

Sorry for the confusion give me a second or more. (I have a different local disk drive thing. You know, where all games, data and stuff go?)

Ah, yeah no worries. Either way, I mimicked the pathing to the best of my knowledge and wound up in the same location that you'd specified, but it seemingly hasn't had any effect. I should note that I *am* an idiot when it comes to using a computer for anything more advanced than gaming, so I'm certain it's a mistake on my part here.

It's also my first time messing around with custom font types, so yeah, not the best start overall for me.

Don't worry. I'll fix it the grammatical error.

The location should be this if you have only one local disk drive.
C:\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cache\workshop\resource\fonts

Yeah, that's where I placed the custom font, went back and saw that it's there still.

Is there anything else that needs to be done from here?

Well have you tried testing it out in the H0L-D4 Font settings in game while inputting the selected font? Not all fonts work like Wingdings, Webdings, or anything with weird symbols in it. If nothing else works I've done all I can from here.

Ah, that could be the issue then. It's a font that is *basically* just weird symbols, since this font replicates the fictional language symbols that were used in an old FPS game called Killzone. I'll give it another shot though, just in case!

Glad I could help. This also works for Half-Life 2 Customisable Hud (which is where I got all the other fonts from) as well since it's made by the same Dev as this mod (I think) as long as you don't got symbols in it tho.

Well, that'll be handy for the future at least! A bit bummed I can't get the custom font I was looking for to work with this, but at least it'll be there for the future when someone makes custom symbols compatible with HUD mods.
