You will have to open the .tga with Gimp, PS or something else.
The .off just gives you the coordinates for each letter.
You will have to replace the characters in the .tga and maybe adjust the coordinates in the .off.

Hi.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't silent 3ditor the only way to 'align' the fonts in the tga, via the off file?
Case in point:
i have a tga file with the new font saved, ready to import.
However, no alignment is possible for this new font due to the black screen.
The creation of a off file is possible however the font, once imported into game is never alligned properly and ie renders it useless.
You suggest replacing the font.
But this still leaves me unable to use the font.
Viewing of the font via the off file is vital (i would assume). To allign font correctly so that game can place text properly.
W/o the view, no new font can be alligned!?
NOTE: skwasjer when posting his tut on font creation used silent 3ditor v0.9 and admitted that it contained 2 bugs that "made it nearly impossible to create new off files from scratch".
He assured us that the 2 bugs would be fixed in v0.9.1.
That begs the question:
would an older version of silent 3ditor, ie v0.9 or 0.8.1 work?
(older versions are not available unless requested from its home page)
Is it possible to obtain an older version? Specifically v0.9, or 0.9.1?
skwasjer was able to show font in off file in silent 3ditor v0.9.
