@nehalvpatel Oh, ok i thought there was a option to add it to the program

[nehalvpatel]

@TehPhoenixOwnage

You can make a font.. But when you use it for your program, you have to give it to the people that use it too...

[TehPhoenixOwnage]

Is there a way to make you're own fonts for you're program ?

[ZethSlayer]

I hate that question, just type them... but if you're to lazy look in the description (This was useless because you posted that comment over 2 months ago.)

Tip for people:

Use this code to make a custom font chooser in your notepad ;)

I did.
