Question about fonts

[kds71]

I'm trying to add a custom TTF to the game. So far I've found only one way to do so - by using language files. Basically, I do something like that:

- in locale/en/all.cfg:

Code: Select all

[font]
my-font-name=path/to/font.ttf

- in prototypes/style.lua:

Code: Select all

data.extend({
    {
        type = "font", 
        name = "my-font-name",
        from = "my-font-name",
        size = 14
    }
})

It looks like it does something, but I'm getting this error while trying to run Factorio:

Code: Select all

Error when opening C:/Program Files\Factorio\data\core\path/to/font.ttf for reading: No such file or directory

Is there any way to tell the game that this TTF file is inside my mod folder? Using __mod-name__ in the path doesn't seem to be working.

If I move my font to C:\Program Files\Factorio\data\core\fonts directory and set my locale file like this:

Code: Select all

[font]
my-font=fonts/my-font.ttf

it works, but it is hardly a solution.

mabe this:

type = "font",
name = "my_name_font",
from = "default",
or from = "default-semibold",
or from = "default-bold",
size = 17,

thats how it works.
Thank you for your mod: The upgrade planner - it is great
