Hey guys. Here's a copy of my code and files used in implementing the custom fonts for your reference.

   // Custom Font
   // ----------------
   // Use custom font instead of Segoe UI or Segoe WP
   // To change the font used, simply open ft_custom.style and change the basefont and semibold
   // options to the desired fonts. Please note, that the font MUST contain a Regular/Book
   // AND a Semibold option to function correctly
   // Use Tweak: Font Size [+2] - Segoe UI 8, Font Size [+1] - Lato
   // To enable, delete the 2 forward slashes " // " at the start of the following line:

    include "resource/styles/tweaks/ft_custom.styles"

I should also note that Segoe UI 8 is not an actual font; I actually just tweaked my own copy of Segoe UI from my Windows 10 PC to change the metadata to allow it to be installed on my Windows 7 PC alongside the Windows 7 version of Segoe UI; I don't recommend doing this en-masse due to potential legal issues!

Furthermore, I noticed a similar tutorial from wayback when here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/pixelvision2/discussions/1/487870763300661158/

Here, Steam User bitter・little・sweetie. used a combination of fonts, rather than a single font with both Regular and Semibold typefaces. I not a fan of mixing and matching, but it does show that it is possible if you like. They also go into much more detail about tweaking font/margin padding as well, but this may be a little too advanced for people who want a quick and easy solution.

Either way, I hope this helps :)
