dont forget you will need the FG Font Converter, if you are ging to make your own font file to use in FG. it can work with TTF files, but it sems to still like FGF font files best.

it is pretty easy to use, and i am sure someone will be able to link you to it or the Fonts section of the wiki or refdocs .

TTF fonts are much easier to use. You can use the one font and have multiple sizes defined for it rather than generating multiple FGF files for your different sizes. TTF fonts add some load time as the game engine generates the required FGF fonts on the fly. Either way its a personal preference.

You can't change the font size within FG. You can use one of the extensions which will change the font size or you can change the UI scale either in settings or by typing /scaleui x, where x is a number between 50 and 200, in chat and then pressing return.

Now I assume all that works on a Mac the same way it does on a PC.

Welcome to the Fantasy Grounds forums.

You download one of he extensions files, put it in your <FG app data>\extensions directory and then activate one of the font extensions when you load a campaign.

Get to <FG app data> by clicking the folder icon in the top right of the main FG launch screen.

See the info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Data_Files_Overview#Extensions

It does in Mountain Lion through Catalina, all of which I've used.
