FontToTGA

[st_dux 26]

I am trying to import a custom font that will allow me to use special characters required for Vietnamese text. I have successfully generated the TGA and FXY files necessary for my font using FontToTGA; however, I have no idea what to do with these files now. How are fonts installed?

Figured it out.

Fonts must go into an addon and added to the CfgFontFamilies config entry. Thanks to BlenderRus for making the Cyrillic Font Support addon, which is where I was able to learn this. An example config entry is shown below:

class CfgFontFamilies {
class ArialPlus
{
	fonts[] = {"\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus06","\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus07","\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus08","\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus09","\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus10","\myAddon\Fonts\ArialPlus\ArialPlus11"};
	spaceWidth = 0.7;
	spacing = 0.065;
};
};

Just as note, steps are:

1 - Generate FXY and TGA files with FontToTga

2 - Convert TGA to PAA with ImageToPAA

3 - Write the configuration file

4 - Pack it and test ;)

I will add soon a sample of font addon in Arma 3 Tools ;)
