I'd like to use custom fonts instead of the default Eurostile. I've spent hours now searching, and it seemed a few people pointed in the direction of editting the mpqs, but there were no definitive answers.
I've tried importing .otf's, using the Text editor, editing data mpqs, and still I can't seem to use any custom fonts. It seems to me that Blizzard points to the ability to import fonts based on the Text Styles and even a trigger function to edit text styles.
Has anyone been able to import your own fonts and use them in game?

Thanks in advance!
First of all, modifying sc2's data mpq files is always the wrong approach.
I'm using custom font files (I even edited them with a program) in my map "Dia blo - Mortal Shroud".
Since we have the styles tab in the text editor, you don't need to create a .SC2style file anymore.
Steps:
1. Import font file (".ttf" and ".otf" formats should both work).
2. Save the map. This will actually place copies of the imported files into the map.
3. Close the text module, if opened. We need to do this to refresh its data.
4. Open the text module.
5. Create a layout or copy one and change the font.
6. Use that new font. If it is not available in the dropdown, restart the used module.

That was a lot easier than what I was trying. Thanks for the quick reply!!!
