Hypnotize here gave a couple of pros of using VTF crosshairs over font crosshairs, but does anyone know the full story on which is better? I've heard font crosshairs scale larger better, but at smaller scales they lose some of their definition.
#Differences between VTF vs font crosshairs?

idk if either is "objectively better" but i prefer vtfs because like hypno said you can customize them with in game settings
you can also edit the crosshair for individual weapons as opposed to slots using item scripts
i.e. different crosshair for sniper and huntsman, or pistol and wrangler

yeah .vtf crosshairs would likely be easier to work with
i would also be a tad bit concerned with compatibility/consistency across systems since i could imagine font crosshairs breaking within certain circumstances
i've heard of people having to locally install certain fonts required by huds for whatever reason (on windows, let alone other OS)
