Creating a chat tag with a custom font

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m currently making a chat tag system for a game, and I have no problems with how changing the message properties work, and the html-like tags around text.

-- example
Properties.PrefixText = "<font face='FredokaOne'>" .. Message.PrefixText .. "</font>"

What I’m struggling with is finding out how to use fonts outside of the few that Roblox provides to you.
(Such as fonts in the creator store.)

I’ve looked through the forums and Roblox documentation for a while now and I can’t seem to find this topic mentioned anywhere (correct me if I’m wrong). I’m starting to think that this might not be possible?

Any help is appreciated!

I don’t really think that you can.
The closest you could do is maybe use a bunch of images of the font you want (1 image per letter), and a custom text rendering system.
