Oh well, I was bored because everything I was doing didn't change anything : I was still getting that f**king blank image. I don't remember how I managed to find
this.
Here is a JPEG copy of the file (warning: lossy format). As you see it's not comic sans at the top, comic sans is at the bottom but not used in game.
I tried to find the image again, and I finally succeeded. Here's the 'method' :
-Use Photoshop to open comic_sans.tga (I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0).
-Save as TGA under another name, with Photoshop.
-Open this new file with
DXTBmp.
-Look at its Alpha channel, it's the image I uploaded on RapidShare.
-Open it, edit it and make the changes you want.
To save :
-Create a blank 1024x1024 image.
-Open it with DXTBmp and add the font in the Alpha channel.
-Save as Targa with Alpha.
There are several ways to edit the font, changing each letter manually is possible but very long and hard because you have to be precise.
I'm going to write a guide on how to do it 'easily'.
The major problem with custom fonts is that the new letters have to be as large as the vanilla ones and be at a very precise place or they'll be cut like
here. The file in Data called font1.txt seems to define the width for each letter, but it's be pretty hard to change it. I'll probably try that later, too.
