Font question

conus00 · 10-31-13, 05:19 PM

Does anybody know which file (or maybe it is hardcoded) describes what font is used on what screen?
Let's say that I would like to change font used on radio messages?

Before we get into the entire "font discussion" I am aware that the "fonts" in game are not actual fonts (but rather combination of TGA and DDS files) but I am curious if there is a way of changing which ones the game uses...

Thanks!

In SH3 the menu.ini file in the Menu folder. I think it's the same in SH4.

The menu_1024_768.ini file in the Menu folder provides font usage. In "Font=X" reference number is X. In "ToolTipText=Y" reference characters are Y in the menu.txt file.

I understand menu_1024_768.ini file to certain extent. There are entries like "Font=1", "Font=18" etc... But how do I find out what particular font the number refers to?

It's listed at the top of the menu_1024_768.ini file itself.

I used 010 editor to scan all the files in SH4.
That's how I found it.
