DarkRP custom hud help!

[Fabulus]

draw.DrawText(LocalPlayer():Nick(), "HudSelectionText", 840, ScrH() - 702, Color(100, 180, 0,255))

This works except the text is way to small for comfort, any help on this?

also how do I make it have a certain font (I want to make a san andreas looking salary font)

You can create a font using:
[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/CreateFont"]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/CreateFont[/URL]

When you download the font you want to use, open up the .ttf file, and use the "Font Name:" that you see when you open it for the {font = "Name Here"}.

To install a font, it goes in your "garrysmod/resource/fonts/" directory.

Make your own font then.

[c👌de_g🎷]

You can't make font larger with draw.DrawText.

[Fabulus]

So it has to be a small font forever?

[Fortune_.]

No. You are not listening. Use surface.CreateFont to make a font in lua. You then use the HudSelectionText font in the font you created.
