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>`_).
|
|
In OpenMW 0.32, an --export-fonts command line option was added 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.
|
|
|
|
0.45.0+ way
|
|
-----------
|
|
This is the recommended way to install replacement fonts.
|
|
|
|
- To replace the primary "Magic Cards" font:
|
|
|
|
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::
|
|
|
|
[GUI]
|
|
font size = 17
|
|
ttf resolution = 96
|
|
|
|
- You can also replace the Daedric font:
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Any Resolution or Size properties in the 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.
|
|
|
|
Pre-0.45.0 way
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- To replace the primary "Magic Cards" font:
|
|
|
|
1. Download `Pelagiad <https://isaskar.github.io/Pelagiad/>`_ by Isak Larborn (aka Isaskar).
|
|
2. Install the ``openmw_font.xml`` file into ``resources/mygui/openmw_font.xml`` in your OpenMW installation.
|
|
3. Copy ``Pelagiad.ttf`` into ``resources/mygui/`` as well.
|
|
4. If desired, you can now delete the original ``Magic_Cards.*`` files from your ``Data Files/Fonts`` directory.
|
|
- You can also replace the Daedric font:
|
|
|
|
1. Download `Ayembedt <https://github.com/georgd/OpenMW-Fonts>`_ by Georg Duffner.
|
|
2. Install ``OMWAyembedt.otf`` into ``/resources/mygui/`` folder in your OpenMW installation.
|
|
3. Add the following lines to ``openmw_font.xml``::
|
|
|
|
<Resource type="ResourceTrueTypeFont" name="Daedric">
|
|
<Property key="Source" value="OMWAyembedt.otf"/>
|
|
<Property key="Size" value="24"/>
|
|
<Property key="Resolution" value="50"/>
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- Another replacement for the Daedric font is `Oblivion <http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:Obliviontt.zip>`_ by Dongle.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the ``Oblivion.ttf`` file into ``resources/mygui/``.
|
|
2. The ``openmw_font.xml`` entry is::
|
|
|
|
<Resource type="ResourceTrueTypeFont" name="Daedric">
|
|
<Property key="Source" value="Oblivion.ttf"/>
|
|
<Property key="Size" value="30"/>
|
|
<Property key="Resolution" value="50"/>
|
|
<Property key="Antialias" value="false"/>
|
|
<Property key="TabWidth" value="8"/>
|
|
<Property key="OffsetHeight" value="0"/>
|
|
<Codes>
|
|
<Code range="32 34"/>
|
|
<Code range="39"/>
|
|
<Code range="44 46"/>
|
|
<Code range="48 59"/>
|

<Code range="8211 8212"/>
|
|
<Code range="8216 8217"/>

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.
