    I made a utility that makes it possible to create .fnt and .fntart files in the format used by ToEE:

    https://github.com/CircleOf8/TempleFileFormats/releases/tag/v0.1-alpha1

    There may still be issues with the generated fonts though. The generated files do not depend on TemplePlus. They will also work with vanilla ToEE.

    Here's an example screenshot using a font I made with this utility (replaced priory-12 for demonstration purposes):

    Extract this ZIP file to your ToEE data folder to get this.


    Here's a 13px replacement for priory-12 that i hacked together:

    Extract this ZIP file to your ToEE data folder to get this.

    I used this excellent free font for the above zips.

    Yeah we still have to replace the ToEE font rendering completely at some point hehehe.

    It lacks a few features I'd expect from a more modern game (looking at Pillars of Eternity), such as proper kerning.

    At that point we'll be able to just drop in OTF/TTF files without having to make these fnt/fntart files first.

    There is a rub, however - it'll require Win Vista or newer...
