Hello,

Does anyone know which files in the B/W file system contains the fonts used in the game?

Did anyone ever extract them to usable bitmaps? I need them for a project you'll soon be learning about. :creep:

Thanks!

I forget the exact location but fonts in this gen are stored in the more standard Nitro format for fonts. Look for a NFTR (rftn) extension. There's a very good editor/viewer for them here but unfortunately there seems to be something slightly different about BW's NFTR files so they don't load.

Kaarosu, thanks for that. Do you still know how to extract them?

Your BMPs are not 100% what I need, because the character width information is lost.

Check out the blue background box for "i" and "j", they indicate there's one pixel additional space on the right side:

This is the format I need the font in. Any further help is appreciated!

yeah as I said I stopped cause I got side tracked, checked my logs for the size (12x15).

As for the method I used CrystalTile2, under tools it has an option called NTFR editor though sadly I do not recall what narc it was contained in

Edit:

As I hit post it came back to me somehow it's located in a/0/2/3

I found out how the font width is stored. There are three values right before the pixel data.

The first one defines how much spacing there is before a character. The second one defines how wide the character data actually is, the third one is for the complete width including pre-spacing and after-spacing.

For the small letter "i", these values are 00, 02, and 03.
