Setting the autpexec to alias reloadfont "mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0; mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1" will make it run automatically on borderless windowed mode.

Putting +reloadfont in the launch options (Library > Right-click Left 4 Dead 2 > Properties > General > Launch Options located at the bottom) loads the font on boot up. This still forces you into full screen, though.

This is absolutely brilliant, I always thought there was a lack of consistency when it came to L4D2's font choice :health:

does it work with the non latin alphabet?

Do not pain yourself with this method.

uhh the chat box is too small for 1366x768
Medic Gaming 8 Jan, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
I did do that. Oh well. At least the method I used worked.

you put them in an autoexec.cfg file and it should automatically do it
Medic Gaming 8 Jan, 2022 @ 2:49pm 
The description instructions doesn't automatically load the fonts. You have to type in reloadfont in the console each time you start the game to get the fonts to work.

You could have also just read the description EngineerGaming(F2P)

Actually, I figured it out. You have to download the addon by finding the addon in the workshop folder, the way I do it is look at all the pictures and find the picture of this addon, and bellow the picture is the addon so I double click it and it should be installed when you start up the game. Once all the addons are loaded I unsubscribe to avoid conflicts since you basically made a copy of the add on, so when the game starts it is already there and in addition, you need to add "reloadfont" into the autoexec. Doing this will make everything happen automatically. Sorry if this comment was too long.

Sadly yes, I'll attempt to look into a way into making it happen automatically every time you open the game.
Medic Gaming 8 Jan, 2022 @ 10:17am 
Would I have to manually reload the font from console each time I start up L4D2?
dog_chicken  [author] 8 Jan, 2022 @ 10:16am 
I modified it to make the y button match the custom controller UI I made for steam. Sadly it would be impossible to share because of how complicated it is, and it changes Steam files as well.
dog_chicken  [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 5:07pm 
Did you exec reloadfont in your console?
SHΛDOW 7 Jan, 2022 @ 4:05am 
Interesting idea, nice job!
Jimmeeehhh 7 Jan, 2022 @ 1:58am 
Yeah, I did. If I forget to set it to borderless first before loading up, the subtitles only work on fullscreen. Looks like I'll have to set it every time I start the game,
dog_chicken  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 7:14pm 
Did you set the resolution in the autoexec to be your actual resolution? Also it just changes to fullscreen to load the font, after that you can go back to borderless.
Jimmeeehhh 6 Jan, 2022 @ 6:50pm 
Guess it does work if I set borderless windowed at the start before I load up a game, but it always defaults me to fullscreen.
Jimmeeehhh 6 Jan, 2022 @ 6:44pm 
For some reason the subtitles are blank when I'm borderless.
dog_chicken  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 4:29pm 
This works on borderless windowed! I know cuz I use borderless windowed.
Jimmeeehhh 6 Jan, 2022 @ 9:34am 
Any chance of this working on borderless windowed mode?
dog_chicken  [author] 5 Jan, 2022 @ 3:49am 
Sadly not, as the Stubble Bold font doesn't support the Russian Alphabet.
sam0ing 4 Jan, 2022 @ 7:50pm 
good
dog_chicken  [author] 4 Jan, 2022 @ 5:13pm 
Correct!
dog_chicken  [author] 3 Jan, 2022 @ 7:30pm 
Are you using a custom HUD?
Kirby 3 Jan, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
This is awesome to see, thanks for your work on this
