The 2nd time I have seen you say this. 5 more times, and you'll get into Guiness World Records!

And, this is not exactly a texture pack... it's supposed to be Offtopic. But, anyway, back ONTOPIC. Hehe, corny joke. Ok, to change the font, find the fonts folder by going into:

<minetest_directory> --> fonts

And, just, delete those fonts, and add two of your own (NOT TESTED! - TEST BY PUTTING THE FONTS IN A SAFE PLACE!)

Go to Minetest/fonts/ and swap the font file with the one you prefer and rename them liberationmono and liberationsan. That's the only real way to do it I feel.

just rename the new font liberationsans and replace it (I recomend saving the other file on a folder) that's how i did it and worked.

You dont need to change filenames, just change the according settings in minetest.conf to point to the new files (see minetest.conf.example).

Not everyone likes to tamper with the config files you know.

If you have a build with FreeType enabled, you can use the following settings to use fonts installed on your system:

Code: Select all

freetype = true
font_path = /usr/share/fonts/TTF/your-font.ttf
font_size = 14
mono_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/TTF/your-monospace-font.ttf
mono_font_size = 14

Of course, change the path settings to the font you want. On linux they are typically in /usr/share/fonts/TTF, and (I think) on Windows they are in C:\\Windows\Fonts.

Why don't you make your own texture pack

Oh the irony, he has already made two texture packs.
