There is a technical issue which prevents me storing the fonts in the skin file. This means if you want to change the font, its easiest to use one of the existing fonts in the system. However if you want a new custom font then there are a few steps..

* copy your font into custom_skin/fonts
* copy your font into your installed data/fonts folder
* edit custom_skin/fonts/fons.cfg and create a new entry for your font
{num} What you want to call your font
filename.ttf

Note: {num} is the next num in the sequence.

* to use the font set "font_name" in the style set to "{num} What you want to call your font" (*see note)

You will need to distribute the font file with the skin. I am looking into fixing this so that the font can be read out of the skin file, but until then you need to do this.

*note: I just found and fixed a bug that will stop the right font being selected, so you will need use RC6...
Thanks for that. Will give it all a go and see how I get on.

Just stripping it all down and trying out basic stuff at the moment.

Perhaps looks a bit minimalist for now.
