I think everything gets much more intuitive when you edit game menues using the inbuildt Menu Editor.

A bit of theory about menu ini format (esp. object resizing and placing):

A couple of good Menu Editor tutorials:

Obviously i need to add the new font to the menu ini file which is easy.

A step-by-step guide would be good\helpful.
You better start from a stock font.

You need to redo the alpha channel of its tga/dds file (RGB channel only used for font color). Editing off and/or txt files is only needed if you need to add new characters (cyrillic for instance) and/or if character spacing for the new font doesn't match you stock template.
