Additional Notes
- font_name is the name of the font you wish to use (i.e Arial, Tahoma, etc) This must be the truetype font name, not the file name.
- size is the size in pixels. It is capped at 128.
- weight is the boldness of the font. 400 is normal, 700 is bold.
- new_font_name is the name of the font you are creating. This is the name that you use in surface.SetFont.
If working with fonts, remember to issue "gm_clearfonts" on the client to rebuild fonts when you reload the map.
