{sticky}[READ THIS] Font Press Submission Rules{/sticky} was created by Tormentor667
If you are submitting a font to the Realm667 Font Press, please read these rules, and follow the submission template. It makes the job of adding them so much easier, and if a submission doesn't follow the rules, it won't be added until it does, or it could be flat-out rejected.
General Submission Rules

More info here: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Font_format - Make sure it is a pk3 file placed inside a zip. Sort your content into apropriate folders so it is easier for modders to implement your weapon into their mod.
- You are allowed to submit font packs incl. one replacement for one fonttype, or multiple fonts in one pack (BIGFONT, SMALLFONT, CONFONT)
- Include information, from the template below, in both the submission post, and in the wad itself, in an INFO lump.
- Include credits. Like information, include credit information (from the template) in both the submission post and in the wad itself, in a CREDITS lump.
- Follow the template, below, in your submission post.
- Tag it as a submission. Use the right topic icons with an apropriate prefix, like the blue S icon with [SUBMISSION] in your title.
- If you are updating something already on the repo, tag it as an update. Use the right topic icon here as well with the purple U and a [UPDATE] prefix
