Hi there,
I have a font I would like to replace the IG font with, is it possible to change the font in fame? If so, how would I accomplish this?

Maybe the NWN Font Maker will help? Or maybe look into the nui stuff?

Hint - try using the front page search box for font.

I found a couple projects that do change the font but I must confess I wasn’t quite grasping how they did it. I didn’t turn up that font maker though, curiously enough. I’ll give it a look.
Thanks for that!

That tool is (almost) irrelevant for EE. Just use the ttf you found directly. IIRC the game looks for galahad.ttf so just put a ttf file with that name at higher resman priority.

https://nwn.wiki/display/NWN1/Fonts
"NWN:EE 8193.21 and onwards (and on Android/iOS), the fonts (apart from PostString / debug console) are loaded from TTF file - TrueType Font. These are used to scale the in game fonts in a much more crisp way.

As of the above version the fonts also scale correctly in values such as 1.3x or 2.7x size rendering correctly up and down.

They also use anti-aliasing which makes them look a bit better on higher resolutions.

  • Main menu / Character Sheet Stats / Journal / Feat and Spell descriptions / Examine screen - fnt_maintext.ttf
  • Everything else - Conversations, Text Panel, Character Sheet info panel
    • High resolution Font option ON (serif font) - fnt_default_hr.ttf
    • High resolution Font option OFF (sans serif font) - font_default.ttf "

Soooooo my problems going to be that I have this font in OTF, not TTF - but I’m sure there’s ways to convert them.

Searching for “otf to ttf” shows a bunch of free converter tools, both online and offline.

Yeah I’ll try a few and report back about what works for me :smiley:
