Guide to Modding Fonts

[Strannik]

Cortes_R asked me to explain modding fonts in more detail. I figured I might as well do it for everyone. I hope it's useful.

Downolad and install AngelCode's Bitmap font gererator which is free

http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/

Open the program and go to "Options->Font Settings" which will look like this:



In font face choose the font you want. For all the other options select the same ones in the screnshot. The only one that you need to change is the size. Choose the biggest size that gives you only one bmp page (see lower in the guide)

Go to "Options->Export options" which will look like this:



Make the options be exactly the ones I have in the screenshot.

Then select the character set in the main screen:



Depending on what font you are modding you may not need all characters. For the map font you only need the ones I have highlighted. Remember to highlight the 'Space character'

EDIT: You also need the hyphen for the text "Île-de-France"

Go to "Options->Visualize" which will look like this



If it doesn't fit in one page on the top will say "Preview 1/n" where n = a number, go to "Options->Font Settings" and reduce the size until you get 1/1.

Go to "Options-Save Bitmap font as..." and save it with the name of the font you want to mod. DON'T SAVE IT OVER THE FONT YOU WANT TO MOD.

Go to photoshop and open the TGA file. Invert the RGB channels so that they look like this:



and change white for gray with rgb values of [201,201,201] in the Alpha1 layer so that it looks like this:



Export as a DXT3 .DDS, if necesary get the nvidia pluggin for photoshop (see utilities post)



Open with a text editor the .fnt file. In the header make the following changes:

- Change the "face" value with the one of the file you want to mod
- Make the size positive
- Add the "italic=0" after the "bold=0" value
- Remove the "unicode = 0" value
- Remove the "outline=1" value
- Remove the " packed=0 alphaChnl=0 redChnl=0 greenChnl=0 blueChnl=0 page id=0 file="Tahoma_60_00.tga"" values
- Remove the "chars count"

Now remove the last column entirely the one that has the value "chnl=15" a simple replace all with 'nothing' will do

This is how it looks before editing:



This is how it looks after



And you are set! Backup the vanilla's .fnt and .dds and overwrite them with your modded version

This is quite helpful! Thank you.

[blwizard]

Oh my God! This is quite handy! I didn't like the default fonts in game so I used someone else's modified version. Now I can make my own fonts now! Thanks!

I have done every step without mishaps except for this one. Where in PS can you change the value of Alpha 1 layer?? When i add a new layer in the Channels, its all black.

[Slake]

haha yes i figured it out. But it's best to use with bold strong fonts. The more exotic the font, the harder it will see in the game.
thanks, this is great. I'mma make one for each new nation I play.

Does anyone have any font mods which make the font bigger? I found this topic but I still can't find the original font mod download.

[gigau]

I need a little help... i've managed to make something, it works when i place the fonts in the vanilla folder. But it doesn't work when i place them in my mod folder. Is there an interface file (or any other file) i got to edit to fix this ?

No one ?

Hello, Can you tell me how to do this with Gimp?

Do you know how to make fonts for EUIII 4.1 beta? The fonts stretch over territory like in Vicky 2, so maybe they have something in common. I'm particularly concerned with getting the font from Strannik's Hand Drawn Map to work with 4.1 beta.

[delling]

I have spent the better part of a day trying to get my head around why it is so darn difficult modding the fonts, with such a great guide, whatever I did, I could not get the font to work...

Finally I got it to work - here is how I do it, please reference the guide from Strannik above.

The example I'm using, I'm creating a replacement for the 'Tahoma 60'. Note that for updating the font used when zooming out the map, you also need to replace vic_22, use the 22 point version and create 256x256 tga file for that.

Start with Angelcodes font generator, just as before:
http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/

Options - Font settings for my example is below. I'm using bold since it's a script font that gets very thin otherwise. I also apply some smoothing and blurring. The important part afaik is the OEM-ANSI setting.



Options - Export Options below. 512x512 for the 60px font file, 32bit. Note the channel settings. Channel A (alpha) is glyph, all the others (RGB) are zero. This way the file will look like the vanilla ones. I'm guessing the original settings from Stranniks guide might work too... Textures to tga-Targa, no compression.



Select the characters you'd like to be able to have on the map, below you can see what I selected. Quite a bit more compared to Strannik, but I like to be able to mod in more special characters, and I don't want to redo this too often. Also in the vanilla file there is a bunch of special characters as well, so I just took most of it, just to be sure.
Remember the space character (third row, first from the left)



Options - Visualize check that it says Preview: 1/1. If it shows 1/2, 1/3... you need to go to Font settings and decrease your font size until it's 1/1.

Now it's time to create the font files, Options-Save Bitmap font as...
Save the files at a place, and with a name so you can find them. Unless you already have made a backup of the vanilla files, you do not want to overwrite those.

Here's a fun part, you do not, I repeat NOT need to use any image editor. The tga file is all that is needed, and it is good the way it is. You can play around with the alpha channel if you want to, but thats not for this guide to cover.

Open the .fnt file in a text editor, change the header (I'm quoting Strannik somewhat here, with a few changes):
- Change the "face" value with the one of the file you want to mod
- Make the size positive
- Remove the "unicode = 0" value
- Remove the "outline=1" value
- Remove the " packed=0 alphaChnl=0 redChnl=0 greenChnl=0 blueChnl=0 page id=0 file="yourfilename.tga"" values
- Remove the "chars count"

Now remove the last column entirely the one that has the value "chnl=15" a simple replace all with 'nothing' will do

Also, and this is the part that took me ages to find:
find char id=32 (space character) and set width=1 and height=0



Save your files, change to correct filenames (note that the tga file name ends with a _0, so you have to change that name even if you saved to the font file name used by EU3), make your backups, copy to gfx\fonts , remove the .dds file (you only need the .tga)

Enjoy!

I can confirm that this works for Victoria II as well.
However, for EUIII DW, if you have a tahoma_60.dds file in your font folder (I didn't create it; it was already there for some reason), you will get garbled text on the map. Moving that file out of the folder fixes the problem.
It also works for HoI III FTM.

This is because the font engine will preference the .dds over the .tga file, if both are present. So if left in place, you will be using your new .fnt with the old .dds file.

Also info face="Olde English" should be changed to the name of the font that you will be replacing, i.e. Tahoma 60. Not sure if that would crash it though.... but just look in the .fnt file for the vanilla font and use the same name as it does.

I did what you told me to but it's still not working.

OK, just post the files as an attachment (or otherwise UL them) and I'll have a look.

Also post the source font file if possible, the .ttf I mean. We'll get you fixed up

You can first try removing the "unicode=0" and "outline=1" entries which you also missed in the instructions...

...if you actually follow it "to the letter" it will work.

Looks like that all I needed to do. I didn't see that bit about removing the unicode and outline part.

Now looking at it, it looks horrible. I better pick a different font.

LOL, yes that is a problem I've run into for most fonts I've tried.

Adjusting the smoothing and AA entries can fix some, but not all.

Same with changing "bold=1" to "bold=0", as seen in the sample .fnt above.

Also you missed removing the "outline=1" entry as well...

Can sombody tell me which font(s) do I replace to change every dialogue, text box, tooltips, panel texts, and other content-heavy parts of the UI for something easier on the eyes? I'm running EU3 in 1920x1080 and the text is so small and not smooth making reading information as a total newbie to the series quite a strain on my eyes. I managed to change to map font (tahoma_60) but I need more than that.
