Morrowind .fnt fonts
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Morrowind uses a custom ``.fnt`` file format. It is not compatible with the Windows Font File ``.fnt`` format.
|
|
To our knowledge, the format is undocumented.
|
|
|
|
OpenMW can load this format and convert it on the fly into something usable
|
|
(see font loader `source code <https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/master/components/fontloader/fontloader.cpp#L210>`_).
|
|
You can use --export-fonts command line option to write the converted font
|
|
(a PNG image and an XML file describing the position of each glyph in the image) to the current directory.
|
|
|
|
TrueType fonts
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Unlike vanilla Morrowind, OpenMW directly supports TrueType (``.ttf``) fonts.
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended way to install replacement fonts.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Now Fonts folder should include ``openmw_font.xml`` file and three ``.ttf`` files.
|
|
|
|
If desired, you can now delete the ``Data Files/Fonts`` directory.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to adjust the font size and resolution via ``settings.cfg`` file::
|
|
|
|
[GUI]
|
|
font size = 16
|
|
ttf resolution = 96
|
|
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
Bitmap fonts
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Morrowind ``.fnt`` files are essentially a bitmap font, but using them is discouraged because they don't have Unicode support.
|
|
MyGUI has its own format for bitmap fonts. An example can be seen by using the --export-fonts command line option (see above),
|
|
which converts Morrowind ``.fnt`` to a MyGUI bitmap font.
|
|
This is the recommended format to use if you wish to edit Morrowind's bitmap font or create a new bitmap font.
