Looks like you just need to center it

The above two links are optimised for 1920x1080 - if you toggle the default crosshair on and off (as scout) you won't be able to notice it, as the custom tf2cross overlaps the stock crosshair completely. Its important to modify the 'tall' value in ClientScheme.res as well as the x/ypos in HudLayout.res if you want to get its positioning perfect.

right click + install font. if you did, then you might not have set it up correctly in your hud.

open up resource/ui/clientscheme.res and ctrl+f for "fonts //". copy/paste this in under where it says ////// FONTS /////

  "CrossHairNormal"
    {
      "1"
      {
        "name"    "tf2cross"
        "tall"    "11"
        "weight"  "0"
        "antialias"  "1"
        "additive"  "0"
        "outline"   "0"
      }
    }

Then ctrl+f for custom fonts and paste this in:

"23"
      {
         "font"     "resource/tf2cross.ttf"
         "name"     "tf2cross"
      }

Make sure to change the 23 so that it fits in, or, rather, so that the numbers there go up sequentially/in order.

Then go to scripts/hudlayout.res and paste this in:

CrossHairNormal
  {
    "controlName"  "CExLabel"
    "fieldName"     "CrossHairNormal"
    "visible"    "1"
    "enabled"    "1"
    "zpos"      "1"
    "xpos"      "c-14"
    "ypos"      "c-13"
    "wide"      "24"
    "tall"      "24"
    "font"      "CrossHairNormal"
    "labelText"    "x"
    "fgcolor"    "235 226 202 255"
    "textAlignment"  "center"
  }

right click + install font. if you did, then you might not have set it up correctly in your hud.

open up resource/ui/clientscheme.res and ctrl+f for "fonts //". copy/paste this in under where it says ////// FONTS /////
[code] "CrossHairNormal"
{
"1"
{
"name" "tf2cross"
"tall" "11"
"weight" "0"
"antialias" "1"
"additive" "0"
"outline" "0"
}
}[/code]
Then ctrl+f for custom fonts and paste this in:
[code]"23"
{
"font" "resource/tf2cross.ttf"
"name" "tf2cross"
}[/code]
Make sure to change the 23 so that it fits in, or, rather, so that the numbers there go up sequentially/in order.

Then go to scripts/hudlayout.res and paste this in:
[code]CrossHairNormal
{
"controlName" "CExLabel"

"enabled" "1"
"zpos" "1"
"xpos" "c-14"
"ypos" "c-13"
"wide" "24"
"tall" "24"
"font" "CrossHairNormal"
"labelText" "x"
"fgcolor" "235 226 202 255"

Strange because I'm using 1920x1080 as well, but thanks I'll try and centre it.

it's not a centering issue. your font crosshair is not installed correctly, or you didn't set it up properly in clientscheme, like i said. to explain further: the 'x' is the font definition for your crosshair, but, because the font is not properly installed, it shows up as a default, fallback font, instead of TF2cross, which is the font seeker made. if you're still confused check out my huds crosshair guide on huds.tf for a more thorough explanation.

just change enabled and visible to 0 on the thing you added to hudlayout to get rid of the x
