Half-Life 2 title font

[Staples McGee]

I'm currently making a mod for HL2 ep2, and I tried to make a custom title today. However, most of the letters were missing. Upon looking at the font file (hl2ep2.ttf), only the letters used in the stock titles are there. Does anyone know whether there is a completed one in existence/where I could find it?

HL2 should have all fonts used in Ep2, as hl2 is the base of most Valve games.
So check the hl2 directory of your game.

Perhaps I didn't elaborate enough... I have the font, but it only contains the letters used in the Half-Life 2 and episode titles; they didn't take the time to create the whole alphabet in that font, so I was wondering if anyone had added the rest of the letters in. Probably not, but I figured I would try looking for it before I tried to do it on my own.

I got it, check your GameInfo and assert you're using episodic AppIDs.

With all the letters in the alphabet and they work? And I'm using the Episode 2 AppID.

For people coming here to see:
The font is called Trebuchet MS and it's a default font for most computers if not all

I'm having a problem with mine. It appears as an E, and a bunch of weapon symbols. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!?

This thread was about the Half-Life 2 title font. This is the specific font made by Valve for the title screens of Half life 2 and its episodes. it is used to get unique characters such as the lambda for the A. Its been over a year since I last looked at it, so I forget what it's called, but it is not a standard font. This thread was me asking if there was a complete version that contains all the letters in the alphabet for creating custom mods that use the same font but include names that have characters/letters are not in the Valve font, which only contains the characters used in Half-Life's title.

If you open up the font with a program that can view it, you can see what letter corresponds with what character and type accordingly. For example, the Half-Life must be all caps to get the lambda symbol. The same goes for the weapon symbols; I'm pretty sure they are part of the font and correspond to a character that would normally be a letter or a symbol like a comma or an apostraphe.

I know this thread is old and stuff but
I managed to change the font of the title expect the title in the "Intro" doesn't change. Like the one you can see first you press New game.
halp.

Honestly I remember running into the same issue but I haven't really done much with the source engine for the past like 3 years but lets see

for the intro... are you modifying the existing intro map or is this a new one

and are you sure its a modifiable text thing and not just an image?

This is for my own introduction map, Yes It is a modified text from credits.txt in scripts folder.
The think is that it works totally fine with the episodic font but man I want the title to look as good as the default title font without some strange symbols in it (Font's called K12HL2).
