Ah, y eah that's basically what i was going to check.
The actual filename doesn't matter. You could have
thisisacrazycustomfontman.ttf as the filename, but the 'name' inside the ttf
(when you create it) is what is referenced by "CustomFont"; So if the name
inside the ttf is CrazyFont, "CrazyFont" is what you'd put in the .res
However, if the filename for crazyfont was 'thisisacrazycustomfontman.ttf'
you'd still put that down at the bottom of the res ;)
