Well the font is the right extension and is in the same folder as the scripts.

Here is a picture!

Fixed

I had to increase my 2200g allocated video memory from 64 to 512mb

i had no FreeVideoMemoryForMTA, i tought MTA will use as much memory as it needs i have in BIOS 64mb but any game will take as much as it needs even if limit is 64 so when i dont play a game i dont waste ram as video memory. Well at least i have 16 GB of ram so ram wont be a problem.
