FONTDEFS
From ZDoom Wiki
This is lump used to define custom fonts. There are three styles of definitions to be aware of in defining your FONTDEFS lump.
Contents |
"DOOMFONT"
The standard message font is called "Smallfont" or "Doomfont" in ACS. You can't replace the smallfont as a whole; the internal version of it is the font with the highest priority and the only way to override it is to replace the STCFN*** lumps. However, you can use this example as a guide to creating your own fonts.
FONTNAME
{
Template CFONT%03d
}
Where "FONTNAME" and "CFONT" are names appropriate to your own project. Template means what the name implies: It's used to create the names for the individual lumps. Also, lower case characters are possible; just add the STCFN*** lumps for the lower case characters and they will be used automatically, with the follwoing ranges:
A = 65 Z = 90
a = 97 z = 122

"STATUSFONT"
This font only needs to contain the characters you need to print the health and armor display.
STATUSFONT
{
0 STTNUM0
1 STTNUM1
2 STTNUM2
3 STTNUM3
4 STTNUM4
5 STTNUM5
6 STTNUM6
7 STTNUM7
8 STTNUM8
9 STTNUM9
% STTPRCNT
/ STTSLASH
- STTMINUS
NOTRANSLATION 109 // don't touch the shadow color!
}
NOTRANSLATION excludes certain palette indices from being colorized. NOTRANSLATION is not implemented for regular fonts - only for ones with explicit patches.

"INDEXFONT"
The INDEXFONT is just a leftover definition that isn't used. To replace the smaller numbers that display the ammo count on the right hand side of the stat-bar, simply replace the graphic lumps themselves.
INDEXFONT
{
0 STYSNUM0
1 STYSNUM1
2 STYSNUM2
3 STYSNUM3
4 STYSNUM4
5 STYSNUM5
6 STYSNUM6
7 STYSNUM7
8 STYSNUM8
9 STYSNUM9
NOTRANSLATION 160
}
