This mod is no longer supported but minor issues like build instructions derp are accepted.
The BetterFonts mod adds TrueType/OpenType font support for Minecraft. This mod will use the fonts installed on your system for drawing text instead of the builtin bitmap fonts that come with Minecraft. Languages such as Arabic and Hindi look much better with this mod since both require complex layout that the bitmap fonts simply can't provide. All in-game text will change to use the new fonts including GUIs, the F3 debug screen, chat, and even signs. This mod should have little or no impact on performance.
Thread on the MinecraftForum has gone for no reason. sorry :(

Installation is the same as for any other Forge mod. Just place BetterFonts jar in "mods" folder in your Minecraft directory.
This mod has a config file to change the default font and text size this mod uses. If your game is installed in a .minecraft directory, then the config file will be .minecraft/config/BetterFonts.cfg (the same place ForgeModLoader keeps its config files). Please note that the config directory does not go inside minecraft.jar but directly into the game folder.
