Getting Fonts to work

I followed Mr. Do!'s advice:
Quote:
Below are some of the ones that came out half-decent. Just click on the pic, and unzip the file to your MAME directory.
I downloaded all his fonts on that webpage. http://www.mameworld.info/mrdo/mame_artwork_supp.php
I extracted all the zip files. I then opened the mk3_ui directory and I copied the ui.bdf file and pasted it directly into the Font directory. Finally, I loaded MAMEUI 0.148 and ran a random game, 10-Yard Fight, but the font never changed to the Mortal Kombat 3 font. The font is still the default font.
What am I doing wrong? Can somebody please help me get fonts to work?

I believe it needs to be in the same folder as MAME executable (MAMEui.exe) not in a font folder.

change the uifont line of mame.ini from default to ui.bdf and delete ui.bdc file if you have one in the directory
MAME will create a new ui.bdc (it's a cached version of the font file) and the UI should use the new font
I'm pretty sure there is also an option for uifont in MAMEUI, but I'm on a Mac so I cannot run it to find where it is...
p.s. the font can go wherever you like: just update the fontpath accordingly
