Morrowind .fnt fonts
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Morrowind uses a custom ``.fnt`` file format. It is not compatible with the Windows Font File ``.fnt`` format,
|
|
nor compatible with ``.fnt`` formats from any other Bethesda games. To our knowledge,
|
|
the format is undocumented and no tools for viewing or editing these fonts exist.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
This is the recommended way to create new fonts.
|
|
|
|
- To replace the primary "Magic Cards" font:
|
|
|
|
#. Download `Pelagiad <https://isaskar.github.io/Pelagiad/>`_ by Isak Larborn (aka Isaskar).
|
|
#. Install the ``openmw_font.xml`` file into ``resources/mygui/openmw_font.xml`` in your OpenMW installation.
|
|
#. Copy ``Pelagiad.ttf`` into ``resources/mygui/`` as well.
|
|
#. If desired, you can now delete the original ``Magic_Cards.*`` files from your Data Files/Fonts directory.
|
|
- You can also replace the Daedric font:
|
|
|
|
#. Download `Ayembedt <https://github.com/georgd/OpenMW-Fonts>`_ by Georg Duffner.
|
|
#. Install ``OMWAyembedt.otf`` into ``/resources/mygui/`` folder in your OpenMW installation.
|
|
#. 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>
|
|
|
|
#. This font is missing a few glyphs (mostly punctuation), but is complete in 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.
|
|
|
|
#. Install the ``Oblivion.ttf`` file resources/mygui/.
|
|
#. The openmw_fonts.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="63"/>
|
|
<Code range="65 90"/>
|
|
<Code range="97 122"/>
|
|
<Code range="172 173"/>
|
|
<Code range="255"/>
|
|
<Code range="376"/>
|
|
<Code range="894"/>
|
|
<Code range="8211 8212"/>
|
|
<Code range="8216 8217"/>
|
|
<Code range="8220 8221"/>

Bitmap fonts
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Morrowind ``.fnt`` files are essentially a bitmap font, but using them is discouraged because of no 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.
