Can I use this font for game UI?
It’s highly not recommended since the fonts are supposed to be used in posters and may look very bad in UI, but yes. For this to work, you need to add [Fonts] section in any GFxUI.int file (other languages can use different file extension insted of .int, e.g. Russian language will use .rus):
After that, you’ll need to replace NormalFont and TitleFont like this:
