RE: True Type Fonts
Now there is a utility called 'FontFactory' that was created by one of our developers which makes it easy to edit NX fonts. The tool will also allow you to create a new NX font file by importing a True Type font (and if you want, you can also export an NX font so that it can be converted into a True Type font).
I've attached a zip file containing the 'FontFactory' program as well as the user documentation. Make sure that you read 'setup.txt'.

RE: True Type Fonts
RE: True Type Fonts
Changes in this version (Version 2.5) are fairly minor:
(1) Better handling of two-byte characters
(2) Places extra comments in FNT files, to improve readability
(3) Slightly better Character Info field on the main dialog
(4) In the Import TrueType function, added a Japanese character set option
(5) Fixed a bug in converting fixed to variable width fonts
The improved handling of two-byte characters helped with some Japanese fonts and with accented characters in French. Maybe it will help other people, too.
As usual, you have to change the file name from "executable" to "exe".
Also note that the installation instructions have been added to the user doc's (.pdf).
