Hi folks!
I am working on FTL localization (into the Breach will be next)
Now the huge problem are fonts... I have to modify .font files somehow, though I have no idea how to do that.
Please show me the way...

Re: FTL Fonts modification
Someone from the Russian modding community created font manipulation tools for this new .font file format since .ttf is not properly supported yet, https://github.com/D-side/ftl_font.ievgen wrote:Now the huge problem are fonts...

Re: FTL Fonts modification
Not that I know of. We had to add Russian alphabet. which is 33 characters, lowercase and uppercase. Same 66 chars total. Worked fine.ievgen wrote:Is there any limit of the characters number in .font file? I need to add 66 characters, and it doesnt work(
Character table size is expressed as a 2-byte number, so the actual constraint is 65 thousand characters (or 32 thousand, if that number is signed, I don't know whether it is). Still a lot.
I need to hack together some basic error reporting when I have time, to ease troubleshooting. But in the meantime... Anything more specific than "doesn't work"?

Re: FTL Fonts modification
Sorry for late answer. Everything is OK now. Just mistakes in file structure...

Yep, that's plenty for even japanese, with all three of their crazy rune sets.
