I already checked and there was a post stating that I simply had to change the extension from TTF to ttf, but after doing this love still won't recognize the file after being zipped, are there other options?

Do you have any reproducible example?

I can send the .love file but I think the issue isn't the ttf file. I tried using an image font instead and I'm having the same problems. It runs perfectly on VS code but the .love file won't work.

You are using file-system that is case-insensitive (probably NTFS on Windows), but ZIPs are case-sensitive, so you have to make sure, you provide exactly same name - your image font is at "Sprites/Imagefont.png", but you access it with "Sprites/imagefont.png", so make sure, all letters are in same case (this is why correct case of extension fixed problem you found). After changing lower case i to upper case I (first letter of imagefont) in main.lua, game loaded correctly.

Thanks for the help, I didn't pay close enough attention to the cases
