(This may have been reported before) - I have found that you can add any comments you wish (e.g. what changes you made in the file, where you found fonts, etc. ) as plain text after the last bracket at the end of the .cvf (cabview) file, and both ORTS and MSTS ignore them.

Cheers, Markus
My research found quartz font to be part of a game pack. See here http://xbox.create.m...ility/font_pack
Just downloaded pack and installed quartz font from it - no problems, shows up fine.
Look for file name: RedistributableTTFs_ARCHIVE_3_1.zip near bottom of page.

Regarding post #43: I followed the instructions and all does work as expected. MSTS does ignore the ORTS font statement entry in the CVF.
HOWEVER, DO NOT OPEN the cvf in the CabEditor because the CabEditor will erase any lines of an unknown origin. I did not know this and experienced the ORTS font line disappearing when I tried to adjust something in the CabView using the editor. You will have to edit the cvf file manually.
See post #4 in this thread: http://www.elvastowe...entries-in-cvf/
Here is some information for those who want to reposition the digital numbers after they have added the ORTS font statement by editing the cvf manually and have never done so.
Type ( BRAKE_PIPE DIGITAL )
Position ( 257 257 26 17 ) : you are interested in the first two numbers..... 257 257 (they could be 303 303 etc or some other combination)
The first "257" is left and right, + 1 number (258) moves the digital numbers RIGHT corresponding to one right arrow keystroke; - 1 number (256) moves the digital numbers LEFT corresponding to one left arrow keystroke (if you were using the CabEditor)
The second "257" is up and down, +1 number (258) moves the digital numbers DOWN corresponding to one down arrow keystroke; -1 number (256) moves the digital numbers UP corresponding to one up arrow keystroke
Edit: (Oct 31, 2014 16:44 PST) Corrected right-left mixup, thanks Marcus.

Marcus, do you have time in your busy schedule to be hired as a technical copywriter/editor. The pay is non-existant and the prospective employer also will need someone to periodically tell him.... :bigboss: YOUR OTHER LEFT!!! :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: Edit already made, thanks, (Gads it is correct? I didn't screw it up again - double check, please.)

You´re :bigboss: Gerry ;) Oh, and :rofl2: for the offer, but the pay really seems minimal :rofl2:
BTW, Try this: Put forth your hands so you can look at the back of your palms, then stretch all you fingers and try to get you thumb in a 90° angle to the other fingers. Then, left is where you can see the L - but don´t try it with your palms facing to you, that´ll be the wrong way round ;)
