```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="lua\modules\liko\core\cl\_fonts.lua" %}

{% endtabs %}

### <mark style="color:red;">◾ Saving Changes</mark>

After editing a font; you must execute the console command <mark style="color:green;">**`identix.fonts.reload`**</mark>

### <mark style="color:red;">◾ Notes</mark>

The only values you should modify are the **font name**, **size**, **weight**, and **shadow**.

If you wish to use a **custom font** that is not included with Garry's Mod; you must provide that font in a Steam Workshop collection for your server; or sync it to players using FastDL. This documentation does not include instructions on doing that; as it's outside the scope of what the purpose of this documentation is for.
