    Can you tell me how to create new ingame font, I mean to create .fnt and .fntart files, please? I don't want to insert new fonts into game, but want to replace standard.

    It can't be done, for all practical purposes.

    But then, how translation groups could make their fonts? They don't use default ones, because there are no necessary symbols for translation.
    I want to understand format of these files, but if there is no description or no one can help, then I will work on my own. If there will be any results, I will say here.

    If you mean mod level localizations, the only ones I'm aware of are German, Polish, and maybe Italian or something like that. I'm not intimate with any of their languages but I'm not aware that any did any .dll level hacking in order to change fonts. That's basically what you'd have to do, and then only maybe ... which is why I said it can't be done for all practical purposes. Unless you're a .dll guru, in which case we'll recruit you to do some other stuff for us too. ;)
