[edit] To Define a Font

Fonts are used for topic controls, list controls, etc.

This code is used in the main <trillian> level. (i.e. where you've defined your <bitmap>s) Many skinners use a files.xml to define bitmaps / fonts / sounds.

<font name="name" file="path and filename" />

Attribute	Priority	Description, Possible Values
name	Required	Arbitrary name which you will use to reference this font in the rest of your code
file	Required	The path and filename. This is in relation to the trillian.xml file (not the current file) (Path is required only if you're using a custom font with the skin that isn't installed in the system's fonts.)

[edit] To Specify a Font for a Control

This code is used inside controls to use the font defined above

<control>
	<font source="name" type="" name="" size="" bold="" italics="" underline=""/>
</control>

Attribute	Priority	Description, Possible Values
source	Required	The name defined above
type	Optional	Common Name for the font i.e. "MS Sans Serif"
name	Required	Depends on the control it's used in, but this defines what the font is used for. i.e. group / default, etc
size	Optional	Font size in points
bold	Optional	0=normal, 1=bold
italics	Optional	0=normal, 1=italic
underline	Optional	0=normal, 1=underlined
