@Bianca that makes it way easier, thanks

@Metal ϟThunderϟ Thanks, I'll try it

@bianca crazy thing is... i changed antialiasing option and the game refreshed after a while and surprise lfd1 fonts were there loaded. So its a nice workaround too if u wanna do some extra steps

I posted this about 4 years ago: Here's an easier answer if you can't handle the technical stuff. Make sure the addon is turned on and all your addon's are FULLY loaded up, then go to you video resolution. If your default is say (as an example) 1920 x 1080, change it to say 1600 x 900 (as an example) and click done. The font will change when the resolution is refreshed. Go back into your video settings again and switch it back to your default and it will keep the font. I use this technique every time.

I just got this to work momentarily, no idea how it happened. But next time I launched the game it was back to the crusty ass vanilla L4D2 font.

I can't fucking figure this shit out

trash

Man, this font is way better than the L4D2 one, i wish Valvel update the game and include this font officialy in the game, with a option to choose between the two.

why is this font so nice?

unfortunate news for you

What if I just simply subscribe to the addon, will that actually enable it for me?

Just in case anyone else needs help:
1. Subscribe to this mod
2. Load up the game to let the game download the mod
3. Once the addon section is done loading, quit the game
4. Go to your Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop folder, and find newly downloaded addon
5. Copy and paste that addon into the addon folder:
(Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons)
This lets the game load this mod on startup instead of having to download it every time you open the game.
6. Create/edit your "autoexec.cfg". It should have these 2 lines inside (with your desired resolution):
alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 2560 1440 1; mat_setvideomode 2560 1440 0"
reloadfont

7. You need to have the "reloadfont" phrase on a separate line. This is what will let your game load the previous line.
8. Now every time you run the game, it will automatically load in your fonts
9. You can now unsubscribe from this mod (but be sure to give it a thumbs up!)

How do I change my font back to the original L4D2 font?

what trade gothic is this

not working

@Deelgo have u done the steps in the description?

not working

how do u make ur own font mod?

@Higgy Thanks

@Bianca you're the absolute best for this

@Edgar
Aero effects make sure if the Window is "fancy," it doesn't really affect anything but most people have it off because it can have a slight performance impact,

also it says in the description, put in the console "mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1; mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0"

Replace 1920 x 1080 by whatever resolution you have (like 1600 x 900)

ah man... :-') <3 what a legend!

How to make font work i want to use aero effects but doesnt turn on help?

@Urik Hey could you give me insight on how to make custom fonts for the game? it's for a mod that i'm making

@Urik
if you take requests, could you please make a version of this for L4D1 campaigns only?

You can also put reloadfont below the alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1; mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0" line in autoexec.cfg so the game will boot the changing fullscreen option automatically as soon the game reaches the main menu For The First Time.

and it should work

Heres a easier way go to 1600 x 900 and go back to 1920 x 1080

It is bad, thank you for the reply

@Vanlice as far as I remember, binds don't work in menu (only during gameplay)

I want to ask, can anyone bind "reloadfont", so that each time not to write to the console?

alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1024 576 1; mat_setvideomode 1024 576 0"
alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1152 648 1; mat_setvideomode 1152 648 0"
alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1280 720 1; mat_setvideomode 1280 720 0"
alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1366 768 1; mat_setvideomode 1366 768 0"

Most of the lower 16:9 resolution commands ^

the bug is game crash

Idk how to get this to work

To add to that, anyone can do a font mod from any existing font installed on their machine by just replacing font name in .res files. No need to include the font file itself (the game can only load .vfont files and we can't make those ourselves).

@UnrealSeb
Urik doesn't do mods anymore, the most recent mods have been reuploads or fixes of older/con-current mods.

However, somebody else would most probably do it for you!

@Urik can u make resident evil font?

It's fine, you just need to get the the font and hud off of GameBanana for it to work.

@SoundSlater It happens with m60 heavy machinegun ammo, which has its ammo position force-repositioned in game code. For some reason, in some cases, resolution change / mat_setvideomode causes that repositioning to break shifting the ammo number position even more (even with default hud). Adding to the issue, the L4D1 hud itself repositions ammo number a little bit (to match l4d1 style), which might make it even more noticeable / broken.
So in the end, it's a result of several weird quirks on L4D2 and contributing causes that I can't do much about

When combined with the Left 4 Dead 1 hud (not sure if it happens with default hud) it doesn't display the ammo or anything. Help

be wary this will disable your In-game steam overlay UI

how do i deactivate the mod?

RIP he changed his user

Where is your bbq bacon burger lol

iv had a number 15 two number 9's a number 9 large 3 number 45's one with cheese and a large soda

all you gotta do if you cant find the file is copy and paste it in the chat (y or u) and it changes your font
