Customizing Fonts

I understand you have a lot of things in queue right now so I won't bother requesting this as a feature (but one day, perhaps... ?). However, when attempting to do this on my own I am running into the limit of my ability. So I downloaded a .ttf file of the font that I would like, put the old DefaultFont.ttf file into a backup folder, renamed the new font to DefaultFont.ttf and saved it in the /tidyplates/media/ subfolder. However, I am not seeing any change in the font that is being displayed on the name plates. How can I make this work?

I appreciate your time. Thanks.

It seems that right now TidyPlates doesn't actually use that font file anywhere. I've never worked with custom fonts so I can't say when I'll get to it, but I'll try to make it happen.

I actually figured out what I was doing wrong right after I made this comment. You have to go into the file folder of the specific theme you are using. For me, graphite. I then looked in the theme lua, Graphite.lua. There it showed me the filepath of the font it was using, which was located in the Shared subfolder of /tidyplateshub. I then backed up the .ttf file it was using, RobotoCondensed-Bold.ttf, and renamed my new font file to that same name and dropped it in the Shared subfolder. Had to exit and reload the game but it worked.

Amazing mod, by the way. Love it.
