OpenMW can load this format and convert it on the fly into something usable

In OpenMW 0.32, an --export-fonts command line option was added to write the converted font
You can use --export-fonts command line option to write the converted font

Unlike vanilla Morrowind, OpenMW directly supports TrueType (``.ttf``) fonts.
0.45.0+ way
-----------
This is the recommended way to install replacement fonts.
- To replace the primary "Magic Cards" font:
1. Download `TrueType fonts for OpenMW <https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46854>`_
2. Place the ``Fonts`` folder from archive to the configuration folder. Use :doc:`paths` article to find the folder.
1. Download `Pelagiad <https://isaskar.github.io/Pelagiad/>`_ by Isak Larborn (aka Isaskar).
2. Create ``Fonts`` folder at the location of your ``openmw.cfg``.
3. Copy ``openmw_font.xml`` and ``Pelagiad.ttf`` files into the folder.
4. Either remove the ``MonoFont`` entry from the created ``openmw_font.xml`` or copy the ``DejaVuLGCSansMono.ttf`` to the ``Fonts`` folder (prefer latter option on Windows).
5. If desired, you can now delete the original ``Magic_Cards.*`` files from your ``Data Files/Fonts`` directory.
6. Pelagiad glyphs may appear to be pretty small, so open ``settings.cfg`` and adjust the following settings as you deem necessary::
Now Fonts folder should include ``openmw_font.xml`` file and three ``.ttf`` files.
[GUI]
font size = 17
ttf resolution = 96
If desired, you can now delete the ``Data Files/Fonts`` directory.
- You can also replace the Daedric font:
It is also possible to adjust the font size and resolution::
1. Download `Ayembedt <https://github.com/georgd/OpenMW-Fonts>`_ by Georg Duffner.
2. Install ``OMWAyembedt.otf`` into the ``Fonts`` folder.
3. Add the following lines into ``openmw_font.xml``::
<Resource type="ResourceTrueTypeFont" name="Daedric">
<Property key="Source" value="OMWAyembedt.otf"/>
<Property key="Antialias" value="false"/>
<Property key="TabWidth" value="8"/>
<Property key="OffsetHeight" value="0"/>
<Codes>
<Code range="32"/>
<Code range="65 90"/>
<Code range="97 122"/>
</Codes>
</Resource>
[GUI]
font size = 16
ttf resolution = 96
4. This font is missing a few glyphs (mostly punctuation), but it has all the primary glyphs. If desired, you can now delete the original ``daedric.*`` files from your ``Data Files/Fonts`` directory.
The ``font size`` setting accepts clamped values in range from 12 to 20 while ``ttf resolution`` setting accepts values from 48 to 960.
Any Resolution or Size properties in the file have no effect because the engine settings override them.
Any Resolution or Size properties in the XML file have no effect because the engine settings override them.
The engine automatically takes UI scaling factor into account, so don't account for it when tweaking the settings.
