Mod Request: Font

[McGuire]

I wanted to change the font TYPE also, but it simply doesn't work - I tried for 2 hours every file config variation I could come up with. Adding fonts into the data.kfs (after renaming it to zip), replacing the font.f file with the font I want to use... No effect whatsoever.

Once I set the "font=font.f" (default) line in fonts.cfg to anything else - even blank space - the game uses some kind of Arial font.

So it's either the game's default font or some kind of Arial. Too bad, i really wanted to use Friz Quadrata.

I just registered to state this here and I doubt someone will even reply in future, but eh, maybe it's worth for the search that the font type just cannot be changed to anything else rather than game's default and the "Arial".

What a bummer.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but there are *.DDS files that look like they identify the fonts being used in the game.

I'm not 100% sure, but I opened up the files and they have text letters in them.

The files are *FONT*_res.dds, where:

*FONT* = arial, courier_new, etc.
res = 640, 800, 1024, 1280.

Pop those files open in Gimp (if you have the plug-in) or search for the plug-in on the Internet if you don't have it and take a look at them.

I *think* this may be what you're looking for and so you just need to generate the following files as a guess:

1. friz_quadrata_640.dds
2. friz_quadrata_800.dds
3. friz_quadrata_1040.dds
4. friz_quadrata_1280.dds
5. friz_quadrata.fmk
6. friz_quadrata.fnt

And *hopefully* you'll be good to go!

By the way, the FMK files identify themselves as "font_maker_project", not sure what that is, but hopefully you know. Also, I'm not sure where to tell it which font to use, but hopefully you know that as well.

Good luck!
