Thanks I hate to be a pain but what tool is used to view these as I have tried bitrun,kimera,palmer,img2tex????

Sorry for being such a pain just trying to help.
 
Kimera can view them, but Borde hasn't implemented his export feature yet.... So you'll have to use Biturn to extract them.  If that is what you are trying to do.
 
started reworking the font, so its not well... whatever it is now, and matches the original font better.

i traced it over the original ^^ still needs tweaking, but im quite happy with it.

nice! Always in favor of staying true to the original. the lowercase 'y' looks kind of trippy, though.

That's because it's too exact a trace. The original lowercase 'y' looked like that too, but only because the developers were limited in what they could adequately fit in a low-resolution bitmap font. I suggest taking liberties with the original in cases like this, where it's obviously better to not follow it too exactly.
 
Hmmm, I'm not sure exactly how to put this...

This font seems to be very "rectangular", whereas the original was more "hexagonal"; the corners are a little too sharp. Also, I think the letters are a bit too tall for their width, which might be what's giving the impression of them being rectangular. Of course, we'll have to see them in the game; it might be that I think the look weird because they're in an unusual context.

In any case, it's nice to see a "classic" font ;D
 
Here's an update, thoughts? i'm gonna start on teh second sheet, should happen faster.

Hrm, the {} curly braces should probably be pointier in the middle, they look like they've been cut off.

This part is probably inconsequential and can be ignored since the texture sheet's probably only gonna work on the English version anyways but the tilda's aren't very consistent in shape, and I think the accents shouldn't touch the letters.

Other than that, though everything looks great that I can see.
 
yea i'm not sure if i'll do other language versions. as to the accents, they are how they are in the original in regards to contact :P the ~ were scaled form letter to letter to match, but have the same basic shape.

EDIT:

dunno if i really need to do all these blasted symbols.. the ones i havent done are most jagedy and darker...

Hey sl1982 I got my first laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Y550p) and it kicks ass 9 ways to Sunday and I plan on making an FFVII install using the GUI overhaul as one of many mods but I'm tied on which version I should use.  My screen resolution is 1366x768.  A conventionally uncommon resolution and 16:9 at that.  I think this falls under your category of "low-res" but I wanted to make sure before I committed a download and install and also for future reference.  So what say you?  Low-res and preserve the aspect ratio in the settings?

I tested it, Anything 1280x960 and lower low res looks best
 
Timu, I can't wait to use that font. It's much closer to the original (obviously) and looks great ingame from what you've posted so far. Will the numbers be changed too? Or just the letter-text?

This may sound strange, but it actually looks like the font used in the menus in Crisis Core. I'm definitely a fan of squareness over roundness.
 
i havnt played crisis core in ages, but neat! I'll probably be gettin back to it soon, I've been quite busy with life n stuff. Numbers are done, but the ones actually used everywhere for stats n stuff are another sheet i think, so need to find that one.
