Is there a way to have a custom font in dbd?

If there is would it be bannable?

    This question is quite vague...

    If you mean on the forums than no, there isn't a set custom font outside of a few size differences and what not.

    If you mean for post chat than no, there is no option for that. If you mean for the descriptions of Killers, Survivors, etc... than no there isn't a way to change those without editing the files.

    In-general, there is no "custom font" options to use within anything on the forums or in-game, and if you were to edit the game files to add it in, than you'd risk being banned through EAC.

    EAC would consider what you're doing as "cheating." This is the same for people who change their in-game Killer/Survivor portraits to something else. BHVR has said before that they won't take action against it, but they advice you to use it and I quote "At your own risk."

    They say this because EAC doesn't work in BHVRs jurisdiction, EAC operates within its own set of rules to what's cheating and what's not. If you're banned through EAC, than BHVR won't be able to do anything about it i'm afraid. You'll have to appeal the ban through EAC themselves.

    While the risk is small when you're editing your game files to have different portraits or fonts... the risk is still there and you can still get EAC banned for it.

    If you decide to go down this road, please do it at your own risk...

    It's a do at your own risk situation. As explained above, you could get banned by EAC for it or EAC might never notice it at all...

    The same issue applies to people who use custom character portraits or icons, it's not going to be a yes or no answer unfortunately.
