What you need :
-LMNOpc Bitmap Font Builder ;
-DXTBmp ;
-An image editing program such as Photoshop ;
-Your hands.
How to 'extract' the font from comic_sans.tga (Warning : I don't know why and how it worked for me. If it doesn't for you, download this) :
(Optional)
-Use Photoshop to open comic_sans.tga (I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0).
-Save with Photoshop as TGA, under another name.
-Open the new file with DXTBmp.
-Look at its Alpha channel, it's the font used in Mount&Blade.
-Open it, edit it manually and make the changes you want.
Or you can simply make your own font, and check with the vanilla one if the letters are well placed and not too wide.
How to make your own font :
-Open LMNOpc Bitmap Font Builder.
-Choose the font you want in Font 1.
-Align on the left. Pic.
-Select 1024x1024 for Texture Size. Pic.
-Select Background = black, Foreground = white.
-You can also reduce or enlarge the font size, useful if your font is pretty wide. Pic.
-In the Character Set tab, choose NeHe Two-Font Texture (32-159 x2). Pic.
-The font in Font 2 doesn't matter.
-Save as BMP or 24-bit TGA (RGB), as you wish.
-Edit this BMP or TGA if your characters are wider than the vanilla ones, in order to avoid this.
How to add your font to the game :
-Create a blank 1024x1024 image, with Photoshop or Paint.
-Open it with DXTBmp and add your font in the Alpha channel.
-Save as Targa with Alpha.
-Replace the vanilla comic_sans.tga by yours, which you must name comic_sans.tga, of course.
