Font2File=C:\Soldat Beta2\lucon.ttf
4. Replace
Font1=BankGothic Lt BT
Font2=Lucida Console
with
Font1=Play

6. To see if you have loaded the correct font, open font.ini again and see if the two bottom lines are:

Please ask me if you're stuck :)
Font1= font for pre-game menu and and in-game menus

Finally, something to convince you that Play is better than BankGothic Lt BT

Akinaro:
Vote for play, but it would need more space between letters because they are look to "squeezed" on bigger res(personal opinion).
If they are free it would be matter of few clicks to make it.

CCalp:
Thank you for your work! I'm really curious what font will be standard for 1.7 eventually...

TBH that does not convince me at all. Directly compared, I would definitely prefer the old font :3

Viral:
I would opt for Play aswell, and just like Akinaro said - less squeezed and it would be perfect (for example the "primary weapon" text; the words nearly touch each other)

homerofgods:
One of the arguments against using the Play font is that it is not as wide as BankGothic Bt Lt. 
However, there is a variable in font.ini that you can adjust to widen the font. So I tried to set FontHeightScale=  from 125 to 150.
This is a comparison of BankGothic Bt Lt vs Play 150%

Another arguement is that the Play font looks pixely in lower resolutions. I think BankGothic works better on lower resolutions because it has more square characters or something. I'm still thinking how that could possibly be solved.
